When Picture Rocks gutters fill up
While freezing nights are rare in Picture Rocks, desert storms can drop large amounts of water in a brief window. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters over time and restrict water flow. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November, creating blockages right before seasonal winter rain events arrive. Ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, but packed plant material will block downspouts just as effectively. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels free of debris. Regular maintenance keeps your roofline ready for sudden heavy downpours.
