When Irondale gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including water oak, sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, loblolly pine, and longleaf pine, impact local roofs across Georgia. Pines drop needles all year long, while sweetgum balls, acorns, and live oak leaves fill channels as fall progresses. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November, followed by freezing nights in winter. While snow is rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, trapped moisture can still damage roofline edges during low temperature spells. Spring brings thick yellow pollen that mixes with rain to form heavy sludge. We recommend clearing your gutter network at least twice a year, spring and fall.
