Gutters and Pollen

4/4/2024 (Permalink)

Debris filled gutter and high winds caused the gutters to be pulled from this home.

Spring has arrived and so has the yellow powder of pollen that has covered our area in a very short time. The trees and shrubs are blooming, and we are all getting geared up for warmer weather. March and April are very unpredictable months. Rainfall and high winds are expected during this time of year.  Be sure you are checking your gutters regularly- leftover debris from winter along with the yellowish-beige , wormlike danglers called catkins are sure to fill up your gutters and cover the ground causing your gutters to fill and up become clogged and with rainfall  and strong winds can cause damage to your gutter system.  If your gutters get filled with catkins, it can cause water damage to your roof structure, rot the fascia board or even damage your gutters all together.

Don’t let your gutters end up like this home in Laurens, SC. High winds and clogged gutters made its mark on this homeowner.

Happy Spring!
