When Montague gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, and northern red oak, alongside conifers like eastern white pine and eastern hemlock. In spring, maples drop seed wings that settle into gutter channels. Fall brings a heavy carpet of fallen leaves, with leaf drop usually peaking in early October, while conifers drop sticky pine needles and acorns late in the season. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, creating ice dams in gutters when trapped water cannot drain. We recommend scheduling a professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property before winter freezing begins.
