When Farmington gutters fill up
Trees common across this region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a variety of heavy materials throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that clump together in the gutter, while summer wind drops twigs and sweetgum balls into the roof channel. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling the system with broad leaves and acorns. Freezing nights happen in Farmington, and trapped moisture leads to winter ice dams that force water under shingles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out organic debris before freezing weather arrives and protect your roofline.
