When Teaneck gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy organic matter throughout the year. Spring pushes oak catkins into gutters, while late summer brings spiky sweetgum balls and acorns. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof gutters right before winter. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely across New Jersey, making trapped, wet organic debris freeze inside metal gutters and pull hangers away from the house. We recommend scheduling a gutter cleaning visit at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to clear channels before major seasonal shifts.
