Tree Debris and Rain Gutters

Fallen leaves, pine needles, and flower petals might look beautiful on your lawn, but they wreak havoc inside your rain gutters. If you don’t keep them clean, the buildup can lead to costly structural problems and water damage. That’s why The Rain Gutter Specialists recommend seasonal inspections, especially during dry spells.

Why It Matters

Clogged gutters stop rainwater from flowing properly. This leads to water spilling over the sides, damaging siding and windows, and even flooding your foundation. Persistent moisture near the base of your home can cause cracks and lead to mold growth—issues no homeowner wants to face.

Here’s a quick video showing how these issues progress:

What to Look Out For

In Los Angeles, pine needles are one of the biggest culprits when it comes to gutter clogs. Although small, they pile up fast and form dense mounds in your gutter system. Additionally, some flowering trees drop sticky blooms that rot and cause severe blockages. If you see gutter overflow during rain, it's time to take action.

When these problems go unaddressed, they can permanently damage your gutters. Sections may need repairs or full replacement. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
