When Gonzales gutters fill up
Gonzales experiences mild winters where freezing nights are rare, meaning ice dams in gutters are not an issue for homeowners. However, regional trees create year-round maintenance needs. Broadleaf live oak trees drop heavy leaves in spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan debris coat the roof during warm months. Ashe juniper sheds dense pollen and material through winter, while cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, and loblolly pine add constant debris. This continuous shed means waiting for late fall leaves is not enough for proper protection. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain clear channels during heavy Texas downpours.
