When Trumann gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop organic clutter throughout the year. Broadleaf live oak trees drop leaves in early spring rather than fall, accompanied by oak catkins that clump inside aluminum gutters. Mid-year brings dropped pecan shells and crape myrtle blossoms, while eastern red cedar drops heavy pollen during freezing winter nights. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October across Poinsett County, packing your channels tight before colder weather arrives. Although snow is rare and ice dams are not an issue here, wet leaves quickly freeze into dense plugs. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain clear channels.
