When Sun Lakes gutters fill up
The Sun Lakes climate brings rare freezing nights, meaning ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. However, dry wind blows sand and fine material onto every roof in Sun Lakes, while leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November, filling the channel right before the winter rain arrives. To protect the roofline and foundation, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A fall cleaning removes fall accumulation before seasonal showers begin, while a spring service clears out winter debris, keeping every gutter clear and ready for sudden summer downpours.
