When Cutler Bay gutters fill up
Evergreen trees across Florida shed foliage, needles, and seed pods continuously rather than dropping leaves in one short fall season. Because freezing nights are rare and snow or ice dams are not an issue in Cutler Bay, summer downpours present the greatest hazard to open gutters. Torrential tropical rains quickly fill channels that are blocked with accumulated grit and leaves, driving excess water behind the fascia board. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during the spring and fall, to prevent continuous organic buildup from choking the drainage paths. Regular seasonal gutter maintenance keeps water flowing freely into every downspout before heavy storm seasons begin.
