When Moorestown gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region include broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine. In spring, oak catkins drop directly into gutter channels, clogging outlets. During summer, regional wind storms blow loose pine needles into downspouts. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling regional drainage paths with broad leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Freezing nights happen later in winter, and while ice dams in gutters are not an issue, snow is likely. Trapped slush adds heavy weight to filled gutters. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property before freezing weather arrives in New Jersey.
