When Church Hill gutters fill up
Local trees common in the region, such as broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, constantly drop material onto area roofs. Spring pollen and summer seeds settle into the channels first. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling the system with heavy oak leaves, sweetgum balls, and pine needles. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, which adds weight to trapped water and frozen sludge inside neglected gutters. To prevent severe winter sagging and spring roof leaks, we recommend scheduling professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during the spring and fall seasons.
