When Whitemarsh Island gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine, drop materials continuously. Needles fall all year long, while broadleaf leaf drop usually peaks in early November. Yellow pollen coats roofs in spring, and sweetgum balls or heavy acorns drop later in the year. Freezing nights are rare, so ice dams do not threaten your roof edge, but severe coastal rains demand free-flowing channels. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent heavy wet clogs from stressing the roofline during sudden downpours in Whitemarsh Island.
