When Ocean Acres gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, send steady debris into residential channels. Spring brings oak catkins that clump inside channels, while fall brings heavy fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Ocean Acres. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow, which can cause trapped wet leaves to freeze into solid blockages. To protect your roof and fascia, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Scheduling a gutter cleaning service before winter prevents frozen blockages from weighing down roof edges.
