When Hamilton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sweetgum, broadleaf white oak, red maple, tulip poplar, hickory, eastern red cedar, and loblolly pine, shed heavily across Hamilton. Spring brings sticky tree pollen, while leaf drop usually peaks in late October. Thick pine needles and broad leaves gather in rain channels, choking off proper flow. Freezing nights happen during cold snaps in Alabama, though ice dams inside gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. Trapped leaves retain moisture that freezes, stressing older fasteners during winter nights. To properly protect your gutter system, we recommend home gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall.
