When Monroe gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum, drop heavy organic debris into Monroe gutters. In spring, oak catkins settle into every gutter channel, while fall brings massive leaf drop that usually peaks in mid October, along with acorns and spiky sweetgum balls. Eastern white pine needles also create thick blockages. Winter brings freezing nights and heavy snow, creating ice dams inside overflowing gutters. Ice dams push against the roof structure and buckle aluminum channels. We recommend a full cleaning visit at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear clogged gutter lines before severe weather hits Monroe, New York.
