When Fairfield gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum, drop heavy debris into open channels throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that clump together in the troughs, while summer storms knock down small twigs and pine needles from eastern white pine trees. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling system lines with fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls right before winter sets in. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely, turning wet debris into frozen masses that weigh down the roofline. We recommend scheduling a thorough cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property.
