When Muhlenberg gutters fill up
Trees 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 open gutters, while fall brings heavy fallen leaves, heavy acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Freezing nights happen throughout winter, and snow is likely across Muhlenberg, which adds extra weight to blocked gutter lines that hold stagnant water. To protect your roofline, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Spring gutter cleaning removes tree pollen and catkins, while fall service clears heavy debris before winter snow rests inside your gutter system, ensuring proper water flow.
