When Waggaman gutters fill up
Local trees common in the region drop leaves and seeds throughout the year, changing the standard maintenance calendar for Waggaman homeowners. Broadleaf live oak trees drop leaves in late spring rather than fall, while pecan trees shed catkins, nuts, and leaves. Loblolly pine needles and winter juniper pollen also fill gutters quickly. Freezing nights are rare here, so ice dams do not form in gutters, but regular dampness creates heavy packed mud. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep drainage channels clear. Scheduled seasonal work prevents heavy decay inside the gutter channel.
