When Key West gutters fill up
Managing roof runoff in Key West requires year-round awareness because local trees are largely evergreen and continually drop leaves, needles, and seed pods into your gutter system. Freezing nights are rare, ice dams in gutters are not an issue, and snow is rare in Florida. However, relentless plant shedding fills roof channels every month regardless of the season. Storm rains quickly flush this loose organic matter directly into downspouts, causing stubborn blockages. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent heavy organic matter buildup from backing up onto your roof edge and causing water damage during peak rain months.
