When Wallkill gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a variety of heavy debris. Oak catkins fill gutters in spring, while broadleaf leaves, spiky sweetgum balls, and acorns fall in fall, usually peaking in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters, which can tear sections away from the home if water sits trapped. We recommend cleaning your home's gutter system at least twice a year, spring and fall. A scheduled spring cleaning removes pollen and seed pods, while a fall cleaning clears heavy foliage before freezing temperatures hit Wallkill, keeping ice dams from forming along your roof.
