How often should you clean your gutters in East Texas? More often than most folks do.
For most homes around Tyler, it's twice a year at minimum, once in late fall after the leaves drop, and once in late spring after the oaks finish dropping catkins and the storm debris settles.
Under pine trees, that's not enough. Pines shed needles all year, not in one season, so you're looking at three or four cleanings a year, or guards, which is the route a lot of our customers under pines end up taking.
Don't want to climb up and check? Your gutters will tell on themselves. The big sign is water spilling over the sides during a hard rain instead of going down the downspouts. A clean gutter doesn't overflow in a normal storm. Plants growing up there, a gutter sagging or pulling away, dark streaks down your siding, same story. It's overdue.
Clogged gutters soak your fascia, work water back under the roof edge, and dump the rest right at your foundation. A cleaning costs a whole lot less than any of that.
