When Hercules gutters fill up
In Hercules, leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, quickly filling gutter systems just as seasonal winter storms begin. Freezing nights are rare here, so ice dams in gutters are not an issue for homeowners in this area. Snow is rare as well, meaning rain runoff is the main water hazard for every roof. To protect the roofline and foundation from sudden overflow, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A fall gutter cleaning removes heavy fall buildup, while a spring service prepares your gutter system for spring showers and windborne seeds.
