When Pelham gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, deposit continuous debris into roof channels. Maple seed wings clutter gutters in spring, while a heavy carpet of fallen leaves and acorns fills channels in fall, usually peaking in early October. Conifer pine needles drop through multiple seasons, forming dense mats that trap standing water. In cold winter months, freezing nights turn trapped water into ice dams that pull gutters away from fascia boards. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your home.
