When Oakdale gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy material into roof troughs. Oak catkins fill gutters each spring, while fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls collect as leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely across Oakdale, New York, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue. Trapped moisture combined with snow can weigh down the entire assembly. We recommend a gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent seasonal blockages and protect your roof through every winter freeze.
