When Stamford gutters fill up
Trees common to the Connecticut region, including broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, and northern red oak, dump heavy broadleaf foliage every fall, while eastern white pine and eastern hemlock drop needles and cones. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling regional drainage paths right before winter arrives. Spring sends helicopter maple seed wings and heavy oak acorns straight into upper system runs. Freezing nights happen regularly in Stamford, and while ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, snow is likely and adds weight to wet debris. We recommend scheduling a gutter cleaning service at least twice a year, during spring and fall.
