When Newburgh gutters fill up
Trees common in this region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, impact rooflines every month. Spring brings oak catkins that block downspouts early in the year. In summer, spiky sweetgum balls drop onto roofs. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, dropping heavy organic material into every home gutter. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, creating ice dams inside clogged channels. Freezing water expands in blocked systems, pulling gutters away from the roofline. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Scheduled gutter cleaning prevents ice buildup and ensures heavy rains flow off the roof without spilling over.
