When Kentfield gutters fill up
Trees around Kentfield drop leaves, needles, and seeds directly into open gutters throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling the gutter channel right before winter rains arrive. Freezing nights are rare here, snow is rare, and ice dams in gutters are not an issue for local homeowners. However, steady rain falling on trapped debris creates heavy sludge that clogs downspout openings. To protect your home, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A spring appointment removes lingering seeds and flower debris, while a fall visit clears out fall leaves before heavy rainstorms sweep across California.
