When Halifax gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop heavy materials into roof channels throughout the year in Halifax. Broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, and northern red oak cast down leaves and acorns, while conifers like eastern white pine and eastern hemlock shed needle debris. Maple seed wings fall during spring, and leaf drop usually peaks in early October. In winter, freezing nights bring snow, and choked gutters lead to ice dams. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property. Scheduled seasonal gutter cleaning clears away pine needles and heavy foliage before winter ice traps water along the roofline.
