When Taos gutters fill up
In Taos, New Mexico, leaf drop usually peaks in late October, dropping heavy amounts of organic material into open gutters. As late fall transitions into winter, freezing nights happen regularly, and snow is likely across the area. When trapped leaves and needles prevent melting snow from draining, ice dams in gutters become a real winter problem that strains the roof edge and fascia. To protect your property, we recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A thorough spring cleaning removes winter debris, while a fall service clears fresh fall leaves before freezing winter weather arrives.
