When Hamilton Square gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum, drop heavy foliage and debris around Hamilton Square properties. Oak catkins fill gutters each spring, while spiky sweetgum balls, acorns, and needle clusters from conifers like eastern white pine drop throughout summer and fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, packing channels tight before winter. While ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, snow is likely and freezing nights happen, turning standing gutter water into solid ice that strains fastenings. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your system from seasonal clogs.
