When Paradise Valley gutters fill up
In Paradise Valley, Arizona, freezing nights are rare, so ice dams in gutters do not form during the winter season. However, leaves, needles, and seeds from surrounding foliage fall regularly into open gutter channels. Dry material builds up slowly throughout the summer months, and local leaf drop usually peaks in early November. When fall storms hit, blocked gutters spill heavy rainwater directly onto external walls. We recommend scheduled gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Cleaning gutters on this schedule prevents packed debris from forming thick plugs that impede drainage when heavy monsoon rains arrive.
