When Spotswood gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, send a steady flow of debris into Spotswood gutters. Spring brings oak catkins that clump inside downspouts, while fall brings heavy leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof channels just before winter. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely in New Jersey, so trapped water in clogged gutters quickly turns to ice, straining gutter brackets and fascia. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear debris before seasonal rains and cold weather arrive in Spotswood.
