When Lexington gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, drop heavy debris into open channels. Spring pollen builds thick residue, while leaf drop usually peaks in late October. Freezing nights happen in Lexington, and snow is likely during winter. trapped moisture freezes inside downspout joints, causing sagged sections along the roof edge. Ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, but trapped ice creates heavy strain. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your Lexington roof from buildup before severe weather arrives.
