When Whitney gutters fill up
In Whitney, Nevada, freezing nights are rare, so ice dams in gutters do not form during the winter months. Snow is also rare in this desert climate. However, leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect inside channels, alongside windblown dirt. Tree leaf drop usually peaks in late October, packing open channels right before late fall storms. Dry grit and organic debris harden inside downspouts if left untouched. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall. A scheduled cleaning visit removes dry buildup, opens blocked downspouts, and keeps seasonal water moving away from your foundation without spilling over fascia boards.
