When Mission gutters fill up
Local foliage in Mission includes trees that are largely evergreen and shed leaves, needles, and seed pods continuously year-round. Because freezing nights are rare and snow is rare in southern Texas, ice dams in gutters are not an issue for homeowners. However, constant shedding quickly fills roof drainage channels throughout every season. A neglected downspout quickly fills with dropping seed pods and needles, obstructing regular runoff. We recommend scheduled gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to manage steady organic accumulation. Keeping regular clearance visits twice a year prevents heavy rain storms from pushing trapped debris into downspouts.
