When Crowley gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into rain gutters throughout the year. Broadleaf live oak trees drop their heavy leaves in spring rather than fall, filling trough lines just as early heavy showers arrive. Pecan trees drop catkins and nut shells, while loblolly pine, post oak, cedar elm, crape myrtle, and eastern red cedar shed pollen, needles, and twigs. Since freezing nights are rare here, ice dams in gutters are not an issue in winter, but winter juniper pollen still creates stubborn sludge inside the system. We recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year, spring and fall, to manage this continuous organic buildup and keep your water flow clear.
