When Hardyston gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy material onto area roofs. Oak catkins arrive in spring, while broadleaf leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls collect inside gutters every fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Hardyston. Freezing nights happen regularly, and ice dams in gutters present a real winter problem when winter snow falls. trapped water freezes, expands, and pushes against roof edges. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Timely seasonal gutter cleaning keeps downspouts open so winter snow melt flows off the roof before turning to ice.
