When Flowood gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, drop heavy loads into local gutters. Spring pollen coats the roofs in early months, while oak leaves, sweetgum pods, acorns, and pine needles accumulate later. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November. Freezing nights happen here, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. Trapped pine needles and damp decay hold moisture against the roof edge during cold snaps. We recommend cleaning residential systems at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to protect each home from long-term exterior water damage.
