When Cave Springs gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into drainage systems throughout every season. Broadleaf live oak trees shed leaves during spring rather than fall, while post oak trees drop dense catkins. Pecan trees lose shells, cedar elm trees drop small leaves, and eastern red cedar trees scatter winter pollen into open channels. Fall leaf drop usually peaks in late October, quickly filling channels before winter weather arrives. Freezing nights happen regularly in Cave Springs, and snow is likely, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent solid blockages and protect fascia from trapped moisture throughout changing weather conditions.
