When Grandyle Village gutters fill up
Trees common across the region, including broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy debris. Oak catkins fill gutters in spring, while spiky sweetgum balls, acorns, and broad leaves accumulate later. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, clogging every open downspout right before winter. Freezing nights happen, and ice dams in gutters become a serious threat when trapped slush freezes along the roofline. Ice expanding inside full channels pulls the metal away from your fascia. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prepare your roof for snow and keep downspouts open.
