When West Hills gutters fill up
In West Hills, New York, regional trees such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine constantly shed debris. Spring brings broadleaf catkins and seeds, while fall brings heavy leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Freezing nights happen here, and while ice dams in gutters are not an issue, snow is likely each winter. Heavy winter snow can weigh down channels filled with damp fall leaves, causing structural strain. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out accumulated debris before winter snow fall arrives.
