When Clinton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock. Spring brings maple seed wings into channels, while summer drops acorns and pine needles onto every roof. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, coating rooftops in heavy leaves. Freezing nights follow fall foliage, turning trapped water into solid ice that damages metal seams. Ice dams in gutters pose a severe risk when fall debris stays trapped inside downspouts into winter. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels clear before snow arrives.
