When Newburyport gutters fill up
Local trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, drop heavy debris. Spring brings maple seed wings, while early October usually marks the peak fall leaf drop along with acorns and pine needles. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and ice dams that form when clogged gutters trap melting ice. Trapped water quickly expands inside joints during severe freeze cycles. We recommend scheduling a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to protect against water damage.
