When Washingtonville gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop a heavy mixture of material into Washingtonville roof gutters throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins from white oaks, followed by broadleaf foliage, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls from red maples, hickories, tulip poplars, and sweetgum trees. Needles from eastern white pine trees also wash into gutters. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling water channels right before winter sets in. Freezing nights cause severe ice dams in clogged gutters, while snow loads strain heavy downspout connections. We recommend residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property before winter freezing begins and after spring blooms drop.
