When Thompson's Station gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and red maple, alongside conifers like loblolly pine and eastern red cedar. In Thompson's Station, these trees drop heavy loads of spring pollen, sweetgum balls, acorns, and needle shed directly into your gutter. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling channels right before cold winter storms bring likely snow and freezing nights. While ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, trapped moisture can still freeze, expand, and pull system parts away from the roofline. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to keep channels open through every season.
