When Othello gutters fill up
In Othello, Washington, freezing nights are common throughout winter, and snow is likely as cold months arrive. Leaves, needles, and seeds from local trees collect inside gutters, especially when leaf drop usually peaks in late September. Although ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, packed leaves mixed with heavy winter snow can weigh down aluminum sections and pull gutters away from the roofline. To keep water moving correctly before snow lands, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A thorough fall gutter cleaning prepares your roof edge for cold weather, while spring gutter maintenance removes leftover winter debris.
