When West Greenwich gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock. In spring, maple seed wings fill open troughs, while pine needles drop steadily. Fall brings a heavy carpet of fallen leaves and acorns, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Cold winters bring freezing nights, where trapped water forms heavy ice dams in gutters that strain roof edges and fascia. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep seasonal debris from blocking proper water flow before freezing weather arrives in West Greenwich, Rhode Island.
