When Lutherville gutters fill up
Local foliage brings continuous droppings into Lutherville roof gutters throughout the year. Regional trees like sweetgum, red maple, and loblolly pine drop sweetgum balls, yellow pollen, and sharp pine needles that easily clog any downspout. Pine needles drop constantly, while broadleaf leaves fill gutter runs in mid October when leaf drop usually peaks. Freezing nights and snow are common in Maryland winters, making standing water in any gutter particularly hazardous before winter hits. We recommend schedule clearings at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep water moving freely. Timely spring and fall care prepares your home for heavy rainfall and freezing spells alike.
