When Tanque Verde gutters fill up
Desert foliage and surrounding trees in Tanque Verde send material onto the roof year-round. Leaves, needles and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters over time, blocking downspouts and clogging channel bends. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November, making mid-fall an important moment for local maintenance. Because freezing nights are rare here, ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare in Tanque Verde, Arizona. Rain heavy enough to overwhelm a clogged system still arrives during seasonal storms. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to ensure your residential gutter channels remain open for incoming desert rainfall and clear of dried vegetative matter.
