When Warwick gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum, drop heavy debris into roof gutters. Spring brings oak catkins that clump inside downspouts, while fall brings heavy foliage, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Eastern white pine needles also settle into channels year-round. Fall leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Warwick. Freezing nights, snow, and winter ice create serious risks, as blocked water turns into ice dams in gutters along the roof edge. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to keep channels clear before freezing weather arrives in New York.
