When Dickinson gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a steady stream of material onto local roofs. Oak catkins fall during spring, followed by heavy broadleaf leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls in fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Dickinson, Pennsylvania. Snow is likely during winter, and freezing nights happen frequently, turning trapped wet leaves into heavy frozen plugs inside your downspouts. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A timely fall cleaning removes fall leaves before winter snow arrives, while a spring cleaning clears away seasonal pollen and dropped seed pods.
