When Schriever gutters fill up
Schriever experiences heavy rain and high humidity, while freezing nights are rare, meaning ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. However, trees common in the region affect your roof throughout the calendar year. Broadleaf live oak drops thick leaves during early spring, while crape myrtle, pecan, cedar elm, and post oak drop debris later. Loblolly pine and eastern red cedar shed needles and pollen that settle in the gutter basin, while pecan shells and oak catkins block downspouts. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to manage this continuous regional growth and keep water moving off your home without backing up during heavy storms.
