When Fairview gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop heavy materials into roof troughs throughout the year. Broadleaf trees like red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum shed oak catkins in spring and release fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls later in the year. Conifers like eastern white pine drop sticky needles. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filing troughs right before winter. Freezing nights happen, and snow is likely across Fairview. Freezing water inside packed troughs expands and pulls metal fasteners away from wooden fascia. We recommend professional cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels clear during seasonal storms.
