When Tulare gutters fill up
Tulare dry summers give way to fall when local foliage begins dropping. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling every open channel with dry material. Freezing nights are rare in this part of California, so ice dams in gutters are not an issue for local homeowners, and snow is rare. However, leaves, needles and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout fall, creating thick mats that block drainage channels before winter storms arrive. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A fall visit removes fall buildup, while a spring service clears away seed pods and windblown dust to keep your system open for sudden downpours.
