Rob,

There is a Child Forum under the Sub-Forum, "Specialty Trades", directly under the Roofing category.

I have heard of Gutter Filter and some other similar ones, but i don't buy into the concept of them never clogging.

The organic debris may not penetrate the brush/filter, but it "May" remain on top of the product until it disintegrates into a continuous clump of rotting organic debris and mulch. Once that has occurred, it is just like packing mud on top of the filter like product making it useless.

Read www.askthebuilder.com and search "Gutter Covers" or "Gutter Guards" and he has a lot of articles on how they all fail and still need cleaning, until a recent product he likes. I like that he does actual hands on studies of the products.

Totally agree with (Ed the Roofer) on this. I've never heard of or seen a gutter filter system that does not clog sooner or later.

Better to annually clean them out yourself or hire someone to do it for you.

I disagre we sell 20,000 feet a year and have never had a call back. i have a solid cover system on the back of my house and have never had to touch them. if they where open iwould probably have to clean them 5 times a year

 

Do you have any problems with ice buildup during the winter?

 

yep its a brush that you stick in the gutters to keep debris out. I seen tommy silva on ask this old house show one to a homeowner as a option. He didn't recomend he said the leaf guards were a better option. Speaking of cleaning gutters. I cleaned my sisters today had to take one of the down spouts apart it was clogged with whirrlebirds. Tried snaking it first no go on that.
