When Jackson gutters fill up
Trees common in the region put steady pressure on every local roofline. Loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine drop sharp pine needles into gutters all year long. Spring brings thick yellow pollen, while broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, and red maple shed heavy leaves, sweetgum balls, and acorns. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November. Freezing nights happen during winter, but ice dams are not an issue here and snow is rare. Wet pine needles and decayed leaves collect behind gutter brackets, holding dampness against the roof line. We recommend residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall.
