When Orange 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, drop heavy debris over local homes. Maple seed wings fall during spring, followed by acorns, pine needles, and a dense carpet of fallen leaves that usually peaks in early October. When freezing nights arrive, trapped water turns to ice dams in gutters, creating heavy weight along rooflines and backing up under shingles. We recommend scheduling a full cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect every home. Clearing out your gutter system before winter cold settles prevents severe weather damage.
