When Georgetown gutters fill up
Georgetown experiences distinct seasonal shifts that severely impact open rain channels. In the region, broadleaf trees such as white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and red maple drop heavy leaves, while conifers like loblolly pine and eastern red cedar drop sharp needles into roof channels. Spring brings thick pollen, followed by fall leaf drop that usually peaks in mid October. Cold months bring freezing nights, snow, and dangerous ice dams that form when clogged gutters hold liquid during cold snaps. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear pathways before winter freezes occur.
