When Marlborough gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, shed various materials throughout the calendar year. Spring brings oak catkins that clump together in the channel, while sweetgum balls, acorns, and pine needles build up during summer storms. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof drains right before freezing nights begin. Winter snow and freezing temperatures transform standing water into heavy ice dams in gutters, threatening the entire roofline. We recommend scheduling a gutter service at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep water flowing freely through every season.
