When Yorketown gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy loads into roof channels throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins that block downspouts, while fall releases mass leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Yorketown. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow, which packs trapped moisture tightly against the roof line. We recommend residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear seasonal debris and protect your home from winter weather damage.
