When Broussard gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, drop heavy debris into residential gutters across Broussard. Live oak trees drop leaves during spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan shells clutter roof valleys. Eastern red cedar pollen settles in winter, forming heavy dirt sludge inside channels. Freezing nights are rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue in Louisiana, but heavy rains require open downspouts year-round. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out seasonal leaf drop and protect your home during heavy rains.
