When McRae-Helena gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine, constantly drop debris. Yellow pollen arrives in spring, while live oak leaf drop, sweetgum balls, and acorns collect later on. Loblolly pine needles drop all year long into the channel. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November. Freezing nights happen in McRae-Helena, but ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. To clear severe organic buildup, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain proper water flow around your roof edge.
