When Northwood gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy debris into roof channels throughout the year. Spring brings maple seed wings, while fall brings broadleaf foliage and acorns, along with pine needles that form dense blockages. In mid October, leaf drop usually peaks across Northwood, filling every gutter before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights happen here, and ice dams in gutters are a real winter problem when winter snow lands on blocked lines. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your home.
