When Hanson gutters fill up
Local trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock. Spring drops maple seed wings into channels, while oak trees shed acorns later in the season. Fall leaf drop usually peaks in early October, casting a dense carpet of leaves into upper drainage systems. Pine needles also filter into tight gaps, creating dense packed plugs. In winter, freezing nights bring heavy snow and ice dams that block water flow. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property.
