When Colts Neck gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine. Spring brings sticky oak catkins that cling to metal gutters, while leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Spiky sweetgum balls and heavy acorns also sink straight into downspouts during fall. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, which adds massive weight to clogged gutter troughs. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent deep blockages. Timely gutter cleaning keeps winter snowmelt moving safely off the roof, preventing heavy ice and trapped slush from straining your gutter channels and pulling down fascia.
