When Commerce gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region drop debris throughout different months of the year. Broadleaf live oak trees drop old leaves during spring rather than fall, while post oak catkins and pecan shells clutter roofs early in the year. Loblolly pine needles gather in channels during summer, and ashe juniper pollen settles into trapped sludge in winter. General leaf drop usually peaks in early November across North Texas. Because seasonal debris collects continuously, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Even though freezing nights happen, ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, making early seasonal cleanings the best way to maintain clear drainage pathways around your roof.
