When Stroudsburg gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop a constant variety of debris into area roof gutters throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that block downspout openings, while summer storms knock down twigs and broadleaf debris. Broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum shed heavily, along with needles from eastern white pine. Acorns and spiky sweetgum balls drop into roof channels alongside leaves, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Cold Pennsylvania winters bring freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters holding trapped water. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your Stroudsburg roof.
