When Ledgewood gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into channels across Ledgewood throughout the year. Spring bringing oak catkins is followed by broadleaf red maple seeds. By mid October, leaf drop usually peaks as red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum drop heavy foliage. Conifers like eastern white pine lose sharp needles during cold fall shifts. Freezing nights create winter snow and ice dams in clogged gutters, sending heavy meltwater back under shingles. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent ice blockages. Regular maintenance stops wet leaf buildup from turning into solid ice plugs along the roofline during cold New Jersey winters.
