When Suncook gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, drop heavy materials year-round. Spring brings maple seed wings, while early October usually marks the peak of the fall leaf drop, filling channels with oak leaves and acorns. Thin pine needles slip past standard covers to clog downspouts. Freezing nights happen regularly in New Hampshire, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when trapped water freezes hard. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear organic debris before severe winter freeze cycles begin.
