When Haverford gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop debris throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that quickly clog downspouts, while sweetgum balls, acorns, and broadleaf leaves drop continually. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling regional gutters right before winter. Freezing nights happen regularly, and snow is likely across Pennsylvania winters. Heavy snow resting on top of clogged gutter channels puts immense weight on your roofline. To protect your home, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A full fall cleaning prevents winter freeze damage, while spring service clears out seed pods and flower drop.
