When Kaser gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy organic matter throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that block downspout openings, while fall delivers broadleaf foliage, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen regularly in Kaser during winter, and snow is likely. Accumulated damp debris inside a gutter freezes solid, adding unwanted weight along the roofline. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent blocked drainage lines before severe seasonal weather arrives in New York.
