When Kingston gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock. In spring, maple seed wings fill the gutters, while oak acorns and broad leaves drop later. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, casting a heavy carpet of fallen leaves and pine needles across local roofs. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters, which can cause severe backflow under roof shingles if channels remain blocked. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear organic waste before winter freezes set in over Kingston, New Hampshire.
