When Ponchatoula gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop leaves and debris over every season in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. Broadleaf live oak trees drop heavy foliage during the spring rather than the fall, while cedar elm, crape myrtle, and post oak drop leaves later in the year. Loblolly pine needles, pecan shells, oak catkins, and winter juniper pollen also collect along the roofline. Freezing nights are rare, ice dams in gutters are not an issue, and snow is rare in Louisiana, but constant rainfall makes open channels mandatory. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear organic debris before heavy rain events cause water to overflow the gutter system.
