When Hitchcock gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop leaves and debris into gutters throughout different months. Broadleaf live oak trees drop old foliage in early spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan foliage fill roof channels soon after. Crape myrtle blooms, post oak debris, cedar elm leaves, loblolly pine needles, and winter juniper pollen continue to accumulate over time. Freezing nights are rare in Hitchcock, so ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, but heavy tropical downpours happen year-round. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to manage seasonal drops, clean every downspout, and keep gutter channels completely free of heavy blockages before major rain events strike Texas.
