When Victoria gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and ashe juniper, drop materials into gutters at different times. Live oaks shed their thick leaves in spring rather than fall, while pecan trees drop catkins and heavy shells. Juniper pollen and pine needles collect during winter months. Freezing nights are rare in Texas, so ice dams do not form in a gutter, but sudden heavy rain showers quickly overwhelm clogged channels. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to manage seasonal leaf drops and protect your roof from standing water.
