When Georgetown gutters fill up
Georgetown weather sees rare freezing nights, meaning ice dams in gutters and snow buildup are not an issue for local homeowners. Instead, regional trees drive the maintenance calendar. Broadleaf live oak trees drop their heavy leaves during early spring rather than fall, while pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, and post oak drop debris later. Conifers like loblolly pine and ashe juniper shed needles, cones, and winter pollen that pack tightly inside open channels along the roof. Pecan shells and spring oak catkins also build up quickly. We recommend scheduling a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to protect the whole drainage system.
