When Malone gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy material into gutters. Spring brings oak catkins, while summer and fall deposit acorns, spiky sweetgum balls, and broadleaf foliage. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October across New York. When winter arrives in Malone, freezing nights happen, turning trapped water into solid ice. Ice dams in gutters become a real winter problem when trapped water expands and forces weight onto the roof edge. Snow is likely throughout winter, adding stress to clogged channels. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property.
