When Plainville gutters fill up
Local trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, deposit heavy debris into roof troughs. In spring, maple seed wings fill the channels, while fall brings acorns, pine needles, and a dense leaf drop that usually peaks in early October. During freezing Plainville nights, trapped water turns to ice, causing ice dams in gutters that pull channels away from the fascia. Snow accumulation adds weight to these blockages. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your Massachusetts home before winter freezes set in.
