When Westwego gutters fill up
Local trees common in the region drop debris into drainage systems throughout the year. Broadleaf live oak trees drop old foliage during spring rather than fall, while crape myrtle blossoms, pecan shells, and oak catkins fall in warmer months. In winter, eastern red cedar pollen settles into channels, while loblolly pine needles fall continuously. Freezing nights are rare in Westwego, so ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. However, constant rain makes regular clearing essential to prevent overflows. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your home. Routine gutter service prevents stagnant water from sitting along the roof edge during damp weather.
