When Hampton Manor gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop a heavy mix of materials into gutter channels throughout every season. Spring brings oak catkins, while broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum shed acorns, sweetgum balls, and heavy fall leaves. Eastern white pine needles drop year-round. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling gutters right before freezing nights arrive. Cold winter storms create ice dams in gutters when trapped debris holds melting snow along roof edges. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep gutter systems clear for summer rain and prevent ice buildup during cold New York winters.
