When Mount Laurel gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine. In spring, oak catkins drop directly into open gutters, while mid October brings heavy fall foliage, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Freezing nights happen regularly in New Jersey, and snow is likely throughout the winter months, even though ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. Trapped water behind debris freezes rapidly, putting weight on your roof edge. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property before winter snow arrives and after spring blooming ends.
