When Home Gardens gutters fill up
While winter freezing nights are rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue in Home Gardens, the local climate still creates challenges for effective water drainage. Snow is rare in this part of California, but local evergreen trees drop leaves, needles, and heavy seed pods during every month of the year. Rainstorms in late fall and winter can quickly flush this loose roof debris straight into downspouts, causing heavy clogs that spill over the edge. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, to protect residential roofing systems from unexpected clogging during sudden seasonal rain showers.
