When Rockcreek gutters fill up
Trees across Rockcreek drop leaves, needles, and seeds directly onto residential roofs, where wind sweeps them into the channel. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling the gutter system right before heavy fall rains start. While freezing nights happen in this part of Oregon, ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. However, wet debris can sit in the gutter trough through cold spells, holding moisture against the home. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A thorough spring gutter cleaning removes leftover winter buildup, while a fall service prepares the roofline for wet weather.
