When Marco Island gutters fill up
Local foliage creates a continuous maintenance calendar on Marco Island. Because local trees are largely evergreen, they shed leaves, needles, and seed pods continuously throughout all four seasons rather than dropping everything in fall. Freezing nights are rare in Florida, so ice dams in gutters are not an issue for homeowners here, and snow is rare. However, heavy rains during summer storms can quickly wash accumulated foliage into downspouts, causing instant overflow. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels clear before summer downpours hit and before late-year storms arrive, ensuring uninterrupted flow along the entire roofline.
