When Fruita gutters fill up
Fruita experiences cold winters where snow is likely and freezing nights happen frequently. Although ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, trapped moisture can freeze inside a clogged downspout and cause splitting or sagging along the roof line. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the warmer months. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, sending windblown debris straight into your gutter system before the first winter snow falls. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, to protect your Fruita home year-round.
