Q:My shingles release small amounts of grit. Will this grit get through the gutter guard? Will it clog up the gutter guard?

Answer This Question
A: Hi Trey! About 99% of the time the small roof sand grit will not clog the mesh. You can have challenges with inside miters (inside gutter corners) where there is high accumulation of small debris and rainwater that congregate at the bottom of the roof valley. These areas will need to be brushed off from time to time. In the straight runs of gutter, generally speaking, when the rain drops come down, they splash the roof sand grit off. There will always be a little grit there in that front trough, but it cycles off the mesh, over the gutter and onto the ground and is replaced by other grit coming down the roof.

Q:Is there any way to stop the dripping? Since installing these gutter guards we get drops accumulating along the edge of the gutter, I am assuming from the metal mounting strip? It keeps our gutters clear but the dripping everywhere is rather annoying.

A great way to clean off your gutter guard is with the use of The Gutter Guard Brush. It’s designed to clean off any gutter guard without having to get on a ladder or roof. You just screw this special brush on the end of any standard extension pole, then from the ground, just reach up and brush it off.

Q:Will 6 gutter guards work with 5 gutters on a 4/12 pitch roof?
by|Oct 24, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Hi Kevin! Thank you for reaching out to us. For gutters between 2.5" to 5" wide we recommend the 5" version of the gutter guards which measures 5.5". As long as you retain between a 5 and 25 degree of angle or 1/12 to 6/12 pitch on the gutter guard once installed and ensure you have the front edge of our gutter guard lay flat on the front edge of your gutter, then you should achieve optimal performance.

by|Oct 6, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Hi Cindy! You can determine the width of your gutter by measuring from the back, top edge where your house meets your gutter to the very front outside lip of your gutter. If your gutter is 5" wide or less, you will need our Standard 5" version. If your gutter is anything over 5" wide up to 7" wide, you will need our Super 6" version.
