When Freetown gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, dump heavy debris on local roofs. Maple seed wings fall each spring, while pine needles, acorns, and a heavy carpet of leaves descend as leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely, turning trapped wet leaves into heavy ice blockages inside clogged channels. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep drainage clear before winter weather arrives. Regular spring and fall gutter cleaning keeps downspout lines open when seasonal storms strike Freetown.
