When Laughlin gutters fill up
Desert vegetation in Laughlin sheds material across every month of the year rather than dropping leaves all at once. Local trees are mostly evergreen, dropping dead leaves, sharp needles, and thick seed pods straight into gutters year-round. High windstorms sweep sand, silt, and dried pods up onto the roof, where rain pushes the dense mixture into downspouts. Freezing nights are rare, ice dams do not form in gutters, and snow is rare here. Even without winter ice, heavy dust and organic debris clog water pathways completely. We recommend scheduled gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep water channels clear for sudden desert rainstorms.
