When Tega Cay gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, and conifers like loblolly, longleaf, and slash pine. Pines drop sharp needles into your gutter channels year-round, while spring brings thick yellow pollen. Live oaks shed heavy leaves, and sweetgum trees drop hard balls that clog downspout openings. Broadleaf leaf drop usually peaks in late October across South Carolina. Although freezing nights happen in winter, ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep your roofline clear and prevent dangerous water buildup around your property.
