When Fort Myers Shores gutters fill up
Trees in Fort Myers Shores are largely evergreen and shed leaves, needles, and seed pods year-round rather than dropping them during a single fall period. Because freezing nights are rare here, ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. However, continuous warm weather foliage combined with intense summer rainstorms creates constant gutter blockages. Debris builds up rapidly during wet periods, trapping water against the roof edge. To prevent standing water and overflow damage in this warm environment, we recommend scheduled gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, ensuring downspouts remain totally clear to handle subtropical downpours.
