Austin homeowners know—our weather changes fast. From spring storms to fall leaves, every season puts your gutter system to the test. Without regular care, gutters can clog, sag, or fail entirely, leading to roof leaks and foundation damage. To help you stay ahead, Golden Gutter Pros has put together these seasonal gutter maintenance tips.
Spring: Clear the Pollen & Prep for Storms
- Wash away pollen buildup that can harden inside gutters.
- Remove early spring leaves and twigs.
- Schedule an inspection before storm season arrives.
Summer: Protect Against Thunderstorms
- Check gutters after major rain events for overflow.
- Ensure downspouts direct water at least 5–10 feet from your foundation.
- Consider gutter guards to reduce summer debris from nearby trees.
Fall: Handle Oak & Pecan Leaf Drop
- Austin is full of oaks and pecans—prime culprits for gutter clogs.
- Schedule a professional cleaning before the first cold snap.
- Inspect fasteners and brackets for sagging sections.
Winter: Prepare for Rare Freezes
- Drain standing water to prevent ice damage.
- Ensure gutters are securely fastened to handle extra weight.
- Remove debris before the rainy season picks up again.
