When Chico gutters fill up
Managing gutter systems in Chico requires seasonal attention to local weather and foliage patterns. Leaves, needles and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year, but leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights are rare in this region, meaning ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. However, heavy fall and winter rainstorms quickly overflow channels clogged with debris. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels completely clear. A routine spring sweep removes lingering debris before summer, while fall service Prepares downspouts for incoming rainstorms.
