When Lafayette gutters fill up
Lafayette experiences distinct seasonal weather changes that impact roof drainage. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof channels right before cold weather begins. Winter brings freezing nights, heavy snow, and cold conditions, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem if water remains trapped behind blockages. To protect your roof, fascia, and foundation, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Clearing your gutter system in spring removes winter buildup, while a fall cleaning clears organic matter before snow and freezing nights hit Colorado.
