When North Massapequa gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a steady stream of organic matter. Spring brings oak catkins that clump inside every gutter, while fall brings heavy fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. In North Massapequa, leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, making packed debris freeze solid inside the channels. To protect your home from overflow damage, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Scheduled maintenance keeps each downspout clear before freezing weather arrives.
