When Kings Point gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop a steady variety of heavy organic waste into roof channels throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that clump together in high corners, followed by summer winds that scatter seed pods and twigs. Broadleaf trees like red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum shed fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls that quickly block outlets. Conifers like eastern white pine lose sharp needles that weave tight mats inside downspouts. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, right before winter snow and freezing nights arrive. To protect your property, we recommend residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall.
