When Walden gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris continuously onto local homes. In spring, white oak catkins land on the roof, while fall brings heavy foliage from broadleaf red maple, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum trees, along with eastern white pine needles, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Cold weather brings freezing nights, snow, and severe ice dams in gutters, which lock in water buildup and strain the roofline. We strongly recommend scheduling professional cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to protect your property before winter freezing starts and before heavy spring rain arrives in New York.
