When Ross gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum, drop heavy organic matter onto nearby roofs. Spring brings oak catkins that clump inside gutters, while sweetgum balls, acorns, and broad leaves collect throughout summer and fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Ross, Pennsylvania. In winter, freezing nights bring snow and ice dams that weigh down blocked channels and tear downspouts loose. To protect your roof, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Clearing your home before winter prevents frozen blockages, while a spring gutter cleaning removes lingering debris before severe seasonal rainstorms begin.
