Do Gutter Covers Ever Clog?


The truth is that in this harsh environment, there is no gutter cover in the world that would be maintenance free. The questions are why and how is the maintenance done?

There are three basic designs for leafguards gutter systems:

1. Single vane type such as the name we can't mention manufactured by Cooley and Hart Corp..
2. Single vane type with built-in trough with sieve openings.
3. Louvered systems.
All others (step and slotted filter types) fall in the category of screening systems and are not considered gutter protectors because their openings are predominately on the horizontal surface where debris is held by gravity and clogs the sieves or openings.

Cheers!
