When New Garden 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 onto the roof, while spiky sweetgum balls, acorns, and broadleaf litter accumulate rapidly later in the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, sending dense debris into residential drainage channels just before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights happen throughout winter, and snow is likely. When winter precipitation lands on organic matter clogged inside a gutter, trapped slush weighs down the system and blocks drainage. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to maintain consistent water flow.
