When Old Bethpage gutters fill up
Several tree species common in the region drop heavy materials throughout the year, including broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine. In spring, oak catkins fall onto the roof and wash into the gutter channels. Fall brings heavy fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow to Old Bethpage, New York, which adds extra weight to packed channels. To prevent winter water backup, we recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Regular clearing keeps each downspout open before winter freezing sets in.
