When Westfield gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, such as red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, continuously drop organic matter on local roofs. Oak catkins fall heavily during spring blooming, while spiky sweetgum balls, acorns, and broadleaf fallen leaves drop throughout late summer and fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling each gutter before winter arrives. Freezing nights happen regularly in Westfield, and snow is likely to pile up on roof lines. Water trapped behind blocked debris freezes, increasing weight on every bracket. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your whole system.
