When Greenville gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. In spring, maple seed wings fill open gutters, while oak pollen and pine needles collect early in the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, sending thick layers of oak and maple leaves onto Greenville roofs. Winters bring freezing nights, heavy snow, and severe ice dams in gutters when trapped water freezes solid. Moisture trapped under ice strains the entire roofline and separates downspouts from fascia board. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep your gutter system open through every season.
