MOORE, Okla. - OklaNews -- "Most people don't think twice about leaves collecting in the gutters," said Greg Derr, owner of Triple Diamond Construction. "But that debris can trap moisture against your roof, cause leaks, and even create foundation problems if water isn't flowing away from your home. A simple cleaning in October can prevent thousands in repairs later."

According to the National Weather Service, Oklahoma City averages about three inches of rainfall in October, followed closely by the area's first freeze in early November. When gutters are clogged with leaves and debris, that extra moisture can back up under shingles or pool around foundations. Once the temperature drops, trapped water can freeze, expand, and lead to roof damage or ice dams.

Triple Diamond's latest blog post, Fall Gutter Maintenance: Why October Is the Best Month to Clear Leaves and Prevent Roof Damage (https://triplediamondok.com/fall-gutter-mainten...), explains how routine gutter cleaning plays a critical role in protecting a home's roof, siding, and foundation. The post also outlines affordable maintenance tips and a cost-versus-benefit breakdown for homeowners debating whether to hire a professional or tackle the task themselves.

"October hits the sweet spot," Derr added. "It's cool enough to work safely outside, most trees have already dropped their leaves, and it's early enough to fix any issues before winter storms move in. A little effort now goes a long way toward keeping your home safe and dry all winter."

Triple Diamond Construction recommends that homeowners:

• Clear gutters and downspouts of all leaves and debris before the first freeze.
