When Florence gutters fill up
Desert vegetation sheds material throughout the summer, but leaf drop usually peaks in early November across the local area. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in channels alongside windblown dust, blocking water channels before winter storms arrive. Freezing nights are rare here, so ice dams in gutters are not an issue for homeowners, and snow is rare. However, dry debris packed inside gutter channels absorbs rain, creating heavy weight that bends metal frames. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A full fall cleaning prepares your home for winter rains, while spring maintenance clears out material trapped during dry spring months.
