Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens when it freezes?

    When the temperature drops to or below the freezing point, it doesn’t have any effect because if the downspout cannot block up there is never any water in the gutter to freeze.

  • When it rains really hard does the gutter run over?

    No the filter is non-absorbent. It lets the water run right through.

  • Do you need to clean it?

    No the pore size is just right to let the smallest particles pass through and keeps the larger particles on top to blow off.

  • How do you install it around the gutter spikes?

    GutterStuff® slides right underneath the gutter spikes.

  • Do birds and other animals harm the foam?

    No, GutterStuff® has been tested so far for over five years all over the country and that has never happened.

  • What about the tiny pieces of gravel from the roof shingles?

    The gravel passes right through and gets washed down the downspout.

  • Does the heat from the sunlight harm the foam?

    No, only the very top surface gets a little stiff. The rest of the filter is shaded so the sun’s ultra-violet rays cannot harm it.

  • Can the wind blow it out of the gutter?

    No it fits snugly in the gutter and under the spikes.

  • How long has this product been on the market?

    We started marketing the product the first quarter of 2003.

  • Do you offer a warranty?

    Yes. GutterStuff® carries a 5 year performance warranty.

  • Can GutterStuff be used with heat cables?
