When North Hempstead gutters fill up
Trees common to the regionâincluding red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pineâdrop heavy organic matter throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that clump inside gutters, while broad leaves, acorns, and sweetgum balls fill channels before leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow to New York, meaning clogged channels can turn trapped slush into heavy trough blockages. To keep water moving freely away from your foundation and roof, we recommend routine residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during the spring and fall seasons, preventing major seasonal overflows.
