When Rocky Point gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region include broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine. In spring, oak catkins drop directly onto roof slopes, while spiky sweetgum balls, heavy acorns, and needles accumulate later. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling regional gutters quickly before winter arrive. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely across Rocky Point, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue. Trapped wet leaves can freeze solid and weigh down your channels. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep total water flow open throughout the entire cold season.
