When Tampa gutters fill up
Local plant life dictates when Tampa properties need gutter cleaning. Broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, and southern magnolia trees are common in the region, along with loblolly, longleaf, and slash pine trees. Live oak leaves drop heavily in late winter, while yellow pollen fills the air during spring. Long pine needles fall throughout the entire year, combined with heavy sweetgum balls and acorns that lodge inside each downspout. Freezing nights are rare here, so ice dams never form, but heavy rain demands constant flow. We recommend residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to protect your roof and fascia.
