Common questions
How often should Longwood gutters be cleaned?
A common rule of thumb is cleaning before the spring rains and again in fall leaf season, once or twice a year. Homes under heavy oak cover may want both checkpoints, while homes with few nearby trees may need fewer. We can advise once we have the details of your roof edge and trees.
When is the best time of year to clean?
Two windows stand out. Late March through April is the height of pollen season, and the weeks before late May precede the median wet season start of May 27. A third, after most laurel oak leaves have fallen in winter, catches the fall load.
Can clogged gutters damage fascia or the foundation?
They can. When the trough cannot carry water, it spills over the lip and soaks the fascia board and the ground beside the slab. How much damage depends on the home and how long the clog lasts.
Do houses in Florida need gutters?
Many Florida homes have none. Commonly cited reasons include steep smooth roofs that shed water, sandy soil, cost and the absence of basements. These come from general home blogs, so treat them as background. If your house has gutters, they need to flow.

Why gutters matter in Longwood
Longwood is a small, mature city, incorporated in 1878, with housing from 1870s-era historic homes to subdivisions built over the last few decades. Parts of the city have lots shaded by oaks, and the historic district is described as live-oak shaded.
Debris rides the same rain that gutters are supposed to move. UF/IFAS lists laurel oak fruit and leaves as litter, and a UF/IFAS agent puts the height of pollen season, which includes oak, in March and April. When the trough fills, water sheets over the front edge and lands on the foundation line, the fascia or a walkway.
The city sits at about 75 feet above sea level, and Hurricane Ian in 2022 flooded neighborhoods nearby. Roof water is only part of that picture, but it is the part a homeowner controls.
