When Middletown gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region drop heavy material across local properties throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that cling to metal, while broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum shed leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Eastern white pine needles also drop into channels. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, right before winter. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely, making clear channels essential so melting snow drains correctly. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your home.
