When California Polytechnic State University gutters fill up
The central coast climate creates specific cleaning needs at California Polytechnic State University, California throughout the year. Freezing nights are rare across California Polytechnic State University, meaning ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. However, leaves, needles and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters regularly across campus residential zones. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, dropping heavy organic material into roof troughs just before winter rains arrive. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels completely open. Clearing debris before winter rain prevents heavy clogs, while a spring gutter cleaning clears away leftover seed pods and windblown coastal dirt.
