When Golden Valley gutters fill up
The desert climate of Golden Valley means freezing nights are rare, so ice dams in gutters are not an issue for local homes, and snow is rare. However, dry winds carry dust while nearby trees drop material year-round. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters along the roof, forming dry blockages that choke off water flow. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, making late fall a vital time to clear the system before winter rains arrive. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep your roof edge clean and keep rainwater flowing smoothly into every downspout when sudden storms strike Arizona.
