When Kosciusko gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sweetgum, tulip poplar, red maple, broadleaf white oak, hickory, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, regularly drop debris onto residential properties. Spring brings heavy pollen deposits, while fall brings a massive drop of leaves, acorns, and pine needles. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Although snow is rare here, freezing nights do happen during winter, turning trapped moisture into ice that weighs down system components. Ice dams in gutters are not an issue in this climate, but blockages still cause trouble. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain clear drainage channels.
