When Converse gutters fill up
Local weather in Texas means freezing nights are rare, so ice dams do not form inside gutters, and snow is rare. However, trees common in the region drop debris throughout the year. Broadleaf live oak trees drop heavy leaves in spring rather than fall, while pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, and post oak shed catkins and foliage. Conifers like loblolly pine and ashe juniper drop pine needles and winter pollen that gather in roof troughs. Pecan shells also collect along the drainage path. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to clear this seasonal buildup and prevent long-term blockages.
