When Wilmington Manor gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sweetgum, red maple, water oak, broadleaf live oak, and loblolly pine, constantly shed material onto Wilmington Manor roofs. Pine needles drop all year long, while yellow pollen covers surfaces each spring. Sweetgum balls, acorns, and live oak leaves create dense blockages, with main leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Cold weather brings freezing nights and snow to Delaware, turning wet gutter debris into frozen blockages that strain downspouts. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear spring pollen and heavy fall leaves before winter freezing arrives.
