When Manalapan gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region include broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine. In spring, oak catkins drop directly into the gutter system, followed by summer seeds, acorns, and sweetgum balls. By mid October, fall leaf drop peaks, sending heavy broadleaf debris straight onto the roof. Winter brings cold temperatures and freezing nights, making snow likely across Manalapan. Ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, but heavy snow sitting on damp leaves adds immense weight to fascia fasteners. We recommend complete gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels empty before winter snows arrive.
