When Goshen gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a steady stream of debris over Goshen rooflines. In spring, oak catkins fill channels, while acorns and spiky sweetgum balls drop throughout late summer. Broadleaf leaves fall fast, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Cold weather brings freezing nights, heavy snow, and severe ice dams when wet fall debris traps water inside local roof gutters. We recommend cleaning residential gutter channels at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to keep winter ice from pulling downspouts away from home exterior walls.
