When Perkasie gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, send heavy debris into Perkasie gutters. Oak catkins drop every spring, while acorns and spiky sweetgum balls drop later in the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling channel runs with heavy organic matter right before freezing nights arrive. Snow is likely during Pennsylvania winters, meaning wet leaves turn into heavy, frozen slush inside uncluttered runs. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep total proper water flow through every channel and safeguard your roof edge before cold weather locks debris inside the downspout system.
