When Upton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris throughout the year onto local roofs. In spring, sugar maple and red maple trees release helicopters that quickly fill channels, while white birch and American beech drop buds. By early October, broadleaf leaves and northern red oak foliage fall in heavy waves, while eastern white pine and eastern hemlock shed needle debris and acorns into roof troughs. In winter, freezing nights bring real risks of ice dams when standing water freezes inside clogged channels. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect every Upton home from seasonal weather.
