When Graham gutters fill up
Trees common to this region, such as loblolly pine, broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, and red maple, drop debris onto Graham roofs throughout the year. Sharp pine needles slip into channels constantly, while yellow pollen fills gutters in spring and sweetgum balls drop during fall. Leaf drop in Graham usually peaks in late October, quickly filling every downspout along the roofline. Although snow is rare in North Carolina, freezing nights happen regularly in winter, turning trapped water into heavy ice inside clogged channels. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to keep water flowing freely and protect your property from winter freeze issues.
