When Compton gutters fill up
The local climate brings dry conditions followed by sudden winter rainstorms. Freezing nights are rare, ice dams do not form inside gutters, and snow is extremely rare in this part of California. However, local evergreen trees drop leaves, needles, and seed pods continuously throughout the entire year rather than shedding all at once. This constant fall means organic matter settles inside every residential gutter month after month. Sudden downpours will wash these loose materials straight into the downspout openings, causing severe blockages. We recommend schedule gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep your gutters clear and ready for seasonal storm events.
