When Monticello gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a wide variety of material onto local rooflines. Spring brings oak catkins that clump in gutter channels, while fall introduces heavy leaf drop, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls that quickly jam every downspout. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Monticello. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and severe ice dams in gutters when trapped water freezes. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to keep water flowing freely. Regular gutter cleaning protects your home from seasonal blockages before freezing weather sets in.
