When Somerset gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, drop heavy material on local roof surfaces. Spring brings maple seed wings, while late fall brings a heavy carpet of fallen leaves and acorns. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow to Somerset, Massachusetts. Trapped moisture inside blocked channels turns to heavy snowpack, putting stress on every downspout and bracket. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear organic debris before freezing winter conditions arrive.
