When Covington gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine, create ongoing drop issues for roof channels. Pine needles land in gutters all year, while yellow pollen covers surfaces in spring, followed by live oak leaf drop, sweetgum balls, and acorns. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November. While freezing nights happen in Covington, ice dams are not an issue and snow is rare. However, winter cold can freeze trapped soggy debris, expanding and twisting metal channels. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your system.
