When Oak Hills gutters fill up
Trees around Oak Hills shed material right into overhead channels year-round. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters during summer and fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling the channel just before heavy fall rains arrive in Oregon. While freezing nights happen in winter, snow is rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. Still, trapped water can sit in full channels and cause rotting along the eaves during cold weeks. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to remove fresh seeds in spring and seasonal foliage before winter rains start.
