When Dickinson gutters fill up
Local trees create a unique schedule for gutter maintenance in Dickinson, Texas. Broadleaf live oak trees drop heavy leaf loads during spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan shells fall during warm months. Conifers like loblolly pine and ashe juniper release needles and juniper pollen in winter, filling channel bottoms. Freezing nights are rare, ice dams in gutters are not an issue, and snow is rare in this warm climate. However, heavy gulf downpours will overflow full channels quickly if they are ignored. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to manage this continuous drop of foliage and organic debris.
