When to Clean Your Gutters in Oklahoma — A Seasonal Guide
Oklahoma’s spring rain and fall leaves make gutter maintenance essential. Learn when and how often to schedule cleaning to protect your roof, siding, and foundation.
Spring: After the First Heavy Rain
Spring storms often wash leaves, pollen, and dirt into your gutters. Schedule your first cleaning once the trees have fully bloomed — usually in late April or May.
Summer: Before Storm Season
Check for sagging, loose fasteners, or small leaks before summer thunderstorms hit. A quick mid-year cleaning prevents overflow during those sudden Oklahoma downpours.
Fall: The Most Important Cleaning
When leaves drop, your gutters can clog quickly. Clean them in October or early November to prevent ice dams or overflow as temperatures drop.
Winter: Spot Check
Even in winter, debris can freeze and block drainage. Inspect gutters after ice storms or snow melts to ensure water flows freely.
