When Morrisville gutters fill up
Trees common in this region drop heavy debris into channels throughout every month of the year. Conifers like loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine drop thin pine needles all year, which quickly weave together to seal off downspout openings. Spring brings thick yellow pollen along with leaf drops from live oak trees, while sweetgum balls, acorns, water oak leaves, and red maple leaves fill channels later in the season. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October across North Carolina. Freezing nights happen in winter, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain water flow.
