Professional Gutter Cleaning in Clovis, NM

While Clovis receives only 19 inches of annual rainfall, don't assume that means low maintenance. Our High Plains agricultural environment creates steady debris accumulation that must be managed for monsoon season preparedness.

Agricultural Dust Infiltration

Clovis sits in the heart of eastern New Mexico's agricultural region. Surrounding farmland generates dust year-round, intensifying during field work and harvest seasons. Prevailing winds carry this fine material across neighborhoods, where it settles in gutters.

When wetted by occasional rains or summer monsoons, this dust forms dense mud that drastically reduces flow capacity. What appears to be minimal dry accumulation becomes near-solid blockages during storms. This material also accelerates corrosion in aluminum gutters.

Tumbleweed & Wind Debris

Russian thistle (tumbleweed) fragments blow through Clovis neighborhoods fall through spring. Pieces lodge in gutters and create substantial blockages. Combined with occasional tree material from ornamental landscaping (especially elms and cottonwoods), debris builds steadily.

During harvest season (summer-fall), crop residue adds to the mix. Properties near active fields experience heavier accumulation. This organic material swells when wet, creating clogs at downspout outlets—the worst possible location.

Pre-Monsoon Cleaning Critical

Late spring cleaning before monsoon season (July-September) is essential in Clovis. Our monsoon storms produce the year's heaviest rainfall intensities. A single cell can exceed one inch in an hour—far beyond what partially clogged gutters can handle.

We routinely see monsoon overflow damage that could have been prevented with pre-season cleaning. Water sheeting over gutters saturates foundations in our clay-loam soil that doesn't drain efficiently, leading to expensive structural issues.
