When Deschutes River Woods gutters fill up
Central Oregon weather presents clear challenges for every home gutter system. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels right before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights happen regularly here, and ice dams in gutters are a real winter problem when trapped water freezes solid. Snow is likely during the winter months, adding weight to weighed-down channels. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A thorough spring gutter cleaning removes winter debris, while fall cleaning prepares your home for snow and freezing weather in Deschutes River Woods.
