When West Slope gutters fill up
Managing water flow in West Slope requires a regular routine because leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels right before heavy winter rains arrive in Oregon. While freezing nights are rare, ice dams in gutters are not an issue, and snow is rare, high rainfall volumes can quickly overwhelm a blocked gutter system. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your home. A fall visit removes seasonal organic drop, while a spring service prepares your gutter system for persistent spring showers.
