When Whitinsville gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, drop debris onto Whitinsville roofs. Spring brings maple seed wings into the gutter troughs, while leaf drop usually peaks in early October, coating homes with a heavy carpet of fallen leaves, acorns, and pine needles. Freezing nights follow, and trapped moisture leads to ice dams in gutters during winter when snow arrives. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep downspouts open and protect fascia from severe winter ice buildup.
