When Manville gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, send varied debris into gutters. Oak catkins fill gutters each spring, while fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls drop as leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely, which can weigh down clogged channels. Even though ice dams in gutters are not an issue, trapped moisture and freezing weather stress sagging gutters. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A scheduled cleaning preps your roofline for winter snow and clears springtime buildup before summer rain arrives.
