When Palm Tree gutters fill up
Weather patterns in Palm Tree require a consistent cleaning schedule to avoid structural moisture issues. Broadleaf trees like red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, and sweetgum are common in the region, dropping oak catkins in spring along with acorns and spiky sweetgum balls later in the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. During winter, freezing nights bring ice dams in gutters, compounding stress on the roof edge when snow arrives. Trapped debris holds liquid that expands during severe late freeze cycles. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect every standard gutter before severe cold sets in.
