What trees drop
- Spring: cottonwood fluff
- Summer: twigs and small branches
- Fall: heavy leaf drop
Why it matters
Debris blocks drains and canales and holds water against the roof. During a storm, water backs up behind the parapet and finds a way in.
Cleaning plan
- Late spring: clear fluff from drains
- Early summer: check before storms
- Late fall: clear leaves
- After windstorms: check for fallen limbs

Common questions
Do screens help?
Simple screens keep big debris out but still need cleaning.
Can branches damage the roof?
Yes. Falling limbs can puncture coatings and foam.
