When Hempstead gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, post oak, and loblolly pine, send material onto local roofs throughout the year. Live oaks drop heavy leaves during spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan shells collect in gutters during other months. Ashe junipers shed winter pollen, while loblolly pines drop fine needles that stick in the downspouts. Because freezing nights are rare here and ice dams do not form, debris buildup poses the main risk for stagnant water. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep your roof drainage clear.
