When Ruidoso gutters fill up
Managing runoff in Ruidoso requires seasonal attention to the surrounding woodland environment. Local trees drop heavy loads of leaves, needles, and seeds that collect in gutters. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November, making late fall a crucial period to remove organic buildup. Winter brings freezing nights, and while ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare, standing water inside clogged channels can easily freeze, expand, and pull fasteners loose from the fascia. To protect your roof and foundation, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Routine maintenance keeps water flowing freely before low temperatures set in.
