When Pitman gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy natural material across local properties. Oak catkins fill gutters each spring, while fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls accumulate rapidly through late summer. Fall leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Pitman, choking channels right before winter arrives. Freezing nights happen regularly and snow is likely throughout winter, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. Water trapped in choked channels turns heavy, straining fasteners. We recommend scheduling a gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain clear downspouts year round.
