When Horn Lake gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, such as broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, send constant debris down onto Horn Lake roof tops. Spring brings heavy pollen clouds that turn into sticky paste inside your gutter system, followed by dropping acorns and pine needles. Broadleaf leaves fall fast, with the leaf drop usually peaking in late October. Freezing nights happen here in winter, turning trapped water into heavy ice, even though ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend a gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall.
