When Latimer gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sweetgum, tulip poplar, broadleaf white oak, red maple, hickory, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, shed constantly near rooflines. In spring, oak pollen and sweetgum blossoms drop into gutters, creating a heavy paste. Fall brings leaves, acorns, and pine needles that trap standing water. While freezing nights are rare, ice dams in gutters are not an issue, and snow is rare in Latimer, heavy rain is constant. Trapped moisture quickly causes wooden fascia to decay. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to manage debris cycles and maintain proper drainage flow year-round.
