When Chestnuthill gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris across residential properties during every season. Broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum trees throw down spring catkins, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls, while conifers like eastern white pine shed needles year-round. Fall leaves pack tightly inside roof channels right before freezing winter conditions arrive. Freezing nights happen throughout Chestnuthill, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when trapped water freezes near the roof edge. Snow is likely to build up over lingering blockages. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep drainage paths open.
