When Hereford gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as pecan, cedar elm, post oak, and broadleaf live oak, drop debris that eventually reaches the roof. Live oak leaves drop in spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan shells accumulate during specific months, alongside winter juniper pollen. General leaf drop usually peaks in late October. Freezing nights happen in Hereford, though snow is rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue. Trapped water, however, can still freeze and stress metal fasteners. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your gutter channels from seasonal clogging and ensure proper drainage throughout the changing weather.
