When La Grande gutters fill up
Trees around La Grande shed heavy amounts of leaves, needles, and seeds into outdoor drainage systems. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling wide gutter channels right before winter starts. Cold months bring freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters, which lock moisture along the edge of the roof and weight down fascia. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A fall cleaning removes fall debris before freeze cycles turn standing water into solid ice. A spring gutter cleaning clears away winter debris and pine needles, leaving channels clear for heavy rain showers throughout early summer months.
