When Kenner gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, drop heavy organic matter across local roofs throughout the entire year. Live oaks drop mature leaves in spring rather than fall, while pecan trees drop shells and oak catkins fill roof channels. Eastern red cedar pollen settles during winter, coating home drainage systems. Freezing nights are rare and ice dams are not an issue here, but heavy rainfall demands open downspout channels year-round. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to manage constant foliage drop and maintain continuous water flow off the roof edge.
