When Farmingdale gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris across residential properties year-round. In spring, white oak catkins land on the roof, while red maple, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum shed fallen leaves and spiky sweetgum balls in fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely in Farmingdale, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue. Trapped wet leaves can freeze, causing heavy ice blockages along the roofline. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep rain channel lines open before winter snow arrives. Scheduled gutter cleaning prevents seasonal buildup from turning into severe winter hazards.
