When Upper Makefield gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a steady stream of debris into roof channels. Oak catkins fall in spring, followed by spiky sweetgum balls, acorns, and broad fall leaves that peak in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow, which adds heavy weight to trapped sludge. To protect your roofline and home foundation, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Schedule a gutter cleaning visit before cold weather hits to keep freezing runoff moving freely through every downspout without pulling sections away from structural fascia trim.
