When Covington gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sweetgum, red maple, and various pine species, drop steady debris onto residential roofs throughout the year. Pine needles collect continuously, yellow pollen lands heavily each spring, sweetgum balls drop in summer, and general leaf drop usually peaks in late October. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely during winter, making clean gutters vital before winter precipitation hits. Standing water inside a clogged gutter can freeze solid and create heavy weight along the roof edge. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep total water flow open across all seasons in Virginia.
