When Gallup gutters fill up
High-desert weather brings seasonal shifts to Gallup, New Mexico. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in open gutter channels throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, making a fall gutter cleaning essential before winter arrives. Freezing nights happen here, creating ice dams in gutters when trapped water freezes near the roof edge. Snow is likely during colder months, putting added weight on clogged channels. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep water flowing freely through the downspout system and protect the roofline from ice damage.
