When Linden gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy debris into gutters through every season. Spring rain washes oak catkins and pine needles into the gutters, while fall sends down oak leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. In Linden, leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen here, and snow is likely during winter months. When wet foliage stays trapped inside a gutter before freezing weather, heavy ice weighs down the entire line. We recommend residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your roofline through changing New Jersey weather patterns.
