When Katy gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and ashe juniper, drop heavy debris. Broadleaf live oak leaves fall during spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan shells clog channels midyear. Ashe juniper pollen settles in winter, and pine needles drop continuously. Freezing nights are rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue in Katy, but rain relies on open paths. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear seasonal drop before heavy storms arrive. Regular maintenance keeps every gutter and downspout open to clear water safely.
