San Antonio's Storm Season: A Gutter's Worst Enemy
San Antonio sits in one of the most storm-prone regions of Texas. Spring storms (March–May) and fall storms (September–November) can dump several inches of rain in a matter of hours. When gutters are clogged with leaves, debris, and dirt, that water has nowhere to go — and it goes straight into your home.
What Happens When Gutters Overflow
Roof damage: Water backing up under shingles causes rot, mold, and eventual structural damage.
Foundation problems: San Antonio's clay-heavy soil expands dramatically when wet. Water pooling around your foundation from overflowing gutters can cause cracks, settling, and costly foundation repairs.
Fascia and soffit rot: Water running behind gutters saturates the wood fascia boards, leading to rot that can spread into the roof structure.
Basement and crawl space flooding: Even homes without basements can experience water intrusion into crawl spaces and slab foundations.
When to Clean Your Gutters in San Antonio
Before spring storm season (February–March): Clear out winter debris before the heavy spring rains arrive.
After fall leaf drop (October–November): Oak trees in Stone Oak and Alamo Heights drop heavily in fall. Clean gutters before winter rains.
After major storms: Check gutters after any significant storm for debris accumulation or damage.
Homes near trees: If you have oak, pecan, or cedar trees near your roofline, you may need cleaning 3–4 times per year.
Signs Your Gutters Need Immediate Attention
- Water spilling over the sides during rain
- Gutters sagging or pulling away from the fascia
- Plants growing in your gutters (yes, this happens)
