When Gananda gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into channels throughout the year. Broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum shed leaves, acorns, spiky sweetgum balls, and spring oak catkins. Eastern white pine trees also shed needles that quickly collect in every gutter. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels right before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights happen regularly in New York, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when trapped water freezes solid. Snow accumulates easily on clogged gutters, adding immense weight to the roofline. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property.
