Fall & winter timing
Clear and Repair Downspouts Before the First Big Storm
The fall leaf and needle drop ends up in your downspouts, and a clogged downspout turns the whole gutter run into an overflow. Around Rocklin and Placer County, most of the year's rain falls from November through March.
Late October to November: blue oaks drop leaves from August to mid-November, valley oaks in November, and ponderosa pines shed their three- to four-year-old needles every fall. A cleaning booked after most of that is down stays clean longest.
December to February: the wettest months. Each averages about 3.4 to 3.7 inches on the valley floor and 6.5 to 7 inches in Auburn, so a gutter that clogs in December overflows in every storm after it.
Done with fall cleanings? Micro-mesh guards keep the leaf and needle drop out of the trough. Every guard install starts with a full cleaning of your existing gutters, so the two jobs happen in one visit.

Our Drainage Recommendation
For Rocklin homes with clay soil and our 25+ inches of annual rainfall, we typically recommend underground drainage systems or 6-10 foot surface extensions. This ensures water is directed far enough from your foundation to prevent pooling and structural damage—especially important during our heavy November through March rainy season.
