When LaFayette gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into drainage systems throughout every season in Georgia. Loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine drop needles all year long, while yellow pollen covers surfaces in spring. Sweetgum balls, acorns, and leaf drop from water oak, red maple, broadleaf live oak, and southern magnolia quickly fill drainage lines. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October across LaFayette. While snow is rare, freezing nights do happen in winter, turning trapped standing water into solid ice that strains mountings. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property from overflow during sudden heavy southern downpours.
