When Northborough gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into channels year-round across Massachusetts. Broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, and northern red oak scatter heavy foliage, while eastern white pine and eastern hemlock shed needles. Spring brings maple seed wings, followed by summer acorns, before leaf drop usually peaks in early October. Winter brings freezing nights, heavy snow, and destructive ice dams inside clogged gutters. Ice buildup pulls gutter lines away from fascia boards and forces water under shingles. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, so your home stays prepared for winter ice and severe seasonal storms.
