When Grafton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, deposit continuous debris. Spring sends maple seed wings spinning onto the roof, while fall brings acorns and leaves. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, dropping a heavy carpet of foliage. In winter, freezing nights arrive, and ice dams in gutters become a real danger when trapped water freezes near the shingle line. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property before winter snow arrives.
