When West Warwick gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, drop heavy materials throughout the year. Spring brings maple seed wings, while fall brings acorns, pine needles, and a dense leaf drop that usually peaks in mid October. During cold winters, freezing nights create ice dams inside filled gutter channels, forcing melting snow back under roof shingles. To protect your property, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A scheduled gutter cleaning before winter removes trapped leaves so freezing meltwater can flow freely down every downspout without forming solid ice blocks.
