When Fruitvale gutters fill up
Local weather patterns and plant life require a disciplined cleaning calendar. In Fruitvale, leaves, needles and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year, blocking proper drainage. Fall drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof channels right before cold weather arrives. While freezing nights happen and snow is likely during winter, ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. However, packed winter snow melted by afternoon sun will overflow blocked channels. We recommend routine gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep your roof system free of organic matter before winter snows settle in.
