When Aptos gutters fill up
Coastal air and surrounding trees mean leaves, needles, and seeds regularly drop straight onto local roofs. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling every gutter channel right before winter storms roll into California. Because freezing nights are rare here, ice dams in gutters do not pose a threat, and snow is rare in Aptos. However, wet debris sitting in gutters for months can rot fascia boards and cause serious water damage to your property. We recommend scheduling a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to keep channels completely clear and downspouts ready for seasonal coastal rains.
