When Templeton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock. Spring drops maple seed wings into every open gutter, while leaf drop usually peaks in early October, dropping acorns, broad leaves, and pine needles. Freezing nights cause severe ice dams in clogged gutters during winter, while snow build-up adds immense weight to blocked channels. To protect your home from winter damage and heavy rains, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Timely fall maintenance removes wet oak leaves and pine needles before freezing weather arrives, preventing ice from twisting aluminum downspouts.
