When La Riviera gutters fill up
Local foliage constantly drops organic material into residential channels. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year, restricting water movement toward every downspout. Fall brings the largest accumulation, as leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Because freezing nights are rare and snow is rare in La Riviera, local homes do not face winter ice dams in gutters. However, winter storms dump substantial rain that quickly overflows packed gutters. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A routine spring gutter cleaning clears away pollen and seeds, while fall service removes heavy leaves before major winter rains begin.
