When Yelm gutters fill up
Yelm weather keeps local gutters working hard throughout the changing seasons. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters, creating heavy mats that restrict water movement. Leaf drop usually peaks in late September, filling roof troughs right before fall rains arrive. While freezing nights happen in winter, ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare in this area. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Regular service prevents organic material from rotting along the roof edge and protects your property from costly water backup during heavy Pacific Northwest rainstorms.
