When Salida gutters fill up
The mountain weather in Salida brings sharp seasonal shifts that impact your gutter system. Leaves, needles and seeds from nearby trees collect in channels throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof gutters right before the cold weather sets in. Freezing nights happen regularly, and winter snow is likely to accumulate on roofs. If debris remains during winter, melted snow gets trapped and creates ice dams in gutters, which can force moisture under roof shingles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels completely clear for every season.
