When Crofton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, live oak, water oak, and loblolly pine, constantly drop materials onto Crofton rooftops. Yellow pollen coats roofs during spring, while pine needles shed throughout the entire year. Sweetgum balls and acorns collect in summer, and broadleaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow, which turns soaked debris into heavy frozen plugs along the roofline. Ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, but heavy slush forces trapped water behind fascia boards. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your home.
