When Exeter gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, and northern red oak, produce a dense leaf drop that usually peaks in early October. Conifers like eastern white pine and eastern hemlock drop needles year-round, while maples release seed wings each spring. Freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters represent real winter challenges for property owners across New Hampshire. Trapped water in a clogged gutter freezes, expands, and pulls metal hardware away from the house structure. To avoid these issues, we recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year, during the spring and fall seasons, so water drains freely.
