When Manchester gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, drop heavy loads throughout the year. Spring pollen fills channel spaces, while acorns, pine needles, and heavy fallen leaves wash down during storms. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, creating full blockages right before cold weather arrives. While freezing nights happen and snow is likely, ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. Still, lingering wet leaves freeze solid, stressing fasts and joints. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect every Manchester property.
