When Alpine gutters fill up
Managing roof runoff in Alpine requires attention to seasonal shifts throughout the year. Mountain winds push leaves, needles, and seeds into channels where debris quickly collects. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof gutters before cold weather arrives. While freezing nights happen and snow is likely across Utah, ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. However, packed leaves mixed with heavy winter snow still weigh down channels and block downspout openings during early spring thaws. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A fall gutter cleaning clears late fall leaves before heavy snow arrives, while a spring service removes leftover winter debris.
