Why a Downspout Filter is Essential for Your Home

Downspout filters are crucial components in maintaining the effectiveness and longevity of gutter drainage systems. These filter guards play a pivotal role in preventing clogs from leaves, twigs, and debris that typically accumulate in downspouts, thereby ensuring that rainwater can flow freely away from your home’s foundation. Downspout filters come with various names, including the gutter downspout guard, downspout leaf guard, downspout gutter guards, wire strainers and more but they are all too small. Your best bet to decrease gutter work and stop clogging is to fill the entire gutter with GutterBrush but if you just want to protect the downspout and not break the bank, a three foot piece of GutterBrush will provide more longevity than an 18 inch piece due to having the advantage of having more surface area for better water flow access. With downspout filters, wire basket strainers are so small they clog very early but the lengthiness of GutterBrush provides a distinkt advantage. You can use a 18 inch piece over the downspout but 3 feet provides more longevity and the more the better. Your best system would be when you fill the whole gutter with 3 foot lengths.

  • All Year Round Gutter Protection, Always Clog-Free

    Don’t let its simple, bristly appearance fool you – the GutterBrush is an incredibly versatile device. Gutters are infiltrated by more than just leaves, and GutterBrush accounts for and defends against them all. Even in the winter, GutterBrush’s UV-resistant bristles will trap and radiate the sunlight, melting ice dams, icicles, and snow. Here’s the short list:

Do Downspout Filters Work?

Gutter guard brush sections fill the entire gutter preventing gutter leaves and debris from accumulating and blocking gutter flow. Debris can't clump and flow to clog the gutter or the downspout outlet, so rain water flows freely between the bristles and out the downspouts.

Will gutter leaves and debris get caught in the bristles?

Sure gutter leaves and debris get stuck in the leaf guard bristles, but individual pieces of debris aren't the cause for gutter clogging and gutter overflow. The gutter leaves and debris cant clump together and flow to cause a clogged gutter or downspout, so the gutter continues to flow.
