When Red Chute gutters fill up
Red Chute experiences distinct seasonal patterns that drop organic matter into roof drainage channels throughout the year. Regional trees like post oak and cedar elm shed foliage during fall, and leaf drop usually peaks in early November. Broadleaf live oak trees drop old leaves in spring rather than fall, while pecan trees shed heavy catkins and shells. Conifers like loblolly pine drop long needles year-round, and eastern red cedar releases pollen in winter. While freezing nights happen in Louisiana, ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep every downspout open.
