When Norway gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, deposit continuous organic material into residential channels. Maple seed wings fall during spring, followed by oak acorns, pine needles, and heavy carpets of fall leaves that usually peak in early October. Freezing nights, heavy snow, and winter ice dams create severe risks when trapped liquid freezes inside full channels. Water backing up under shingles leads to costly structure repairs. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain clear drainage channels before freezing temperatures arrive in Oxford County.
