When Tallahassee gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine, drop materials constantly. Pine needles land in gutter troughs all year, while spring brings thick yellow pollen. Live oak leaf drop, sweetgum balls, and acorns quickly pack downspout openings. Freezing nights are rare in Tallahassee, so ice dams do not form, but rain fall remains heavy. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out organic debris, keep downspouts open, and protect your roofline from standing water through every changing season in Florida.
