When Exeter gutters fill up
Managing roof runoff in Exeter depends on seasonal tree cycles rather than freezing winter temperatures. Freezing nights are rare in this part of California, meaning ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. However, leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees constantly collect in open channels throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, bringing a heavy rush of debris right before seasonal rains arrive. To prevent heavy blockages and maintain proper drainage, we recommend cleaning residential gutters at least twice a year, during spring and fall. Regular visits clear out settled seeds and heavy fall drops before water can backup.
