When Gateway gutters fill up
Local trees in Gateway drop leaves, needles, and seed pods continuously throughout the entire year rather than shedding all at once in fall. Freezing nights are rare across Lee County, and winter ice dams in roof troughs are not an issue for homeowners in Gateway. However, continuous tropical humidity and year-round plant droppings create a constant sludge that clogs subterranean runoff pipes and downspout turns. Heavy summer downpours require open channels to manage extreme rainfall volumes without spilling. To protect your residential structure from standing water and severe dampness, we recommend scheduling a full system cleaning at least twice a year, during the spring and fall seasons.
