When North Berwick gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, deposit continuous debris into roof drainage systems. Spring brings maple seed wings, while fall drops acorns, needles, and heavy foliage, with leaf drop usually peaking in early October. In North Berwick, freezing nights happen, turning stagnant water into thick ice that creates ice dams in gutters during winter. Snow is likely, adding heavy weight to blocked systems. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out debris before winter freezes lock trapped moisture against your roof line.
