How GutterBrush Works—And Why GutterBrush is the Best Gutter Guard SYSTEM

Gutter Clogging: A Problem You Can’t Ignore

Your gutters are designed to capture and direct rainwater safely away from your home, protecting your roof, foundation, and landscaping. But when gutters clog with leaves and debris, they become useless—leading to overflow, water damage, and costly repairs.

With over 25 years of experience in gutter maintenance, we’ve seen exactly how and why gutters clog—and how to stop it.

Why Do Gutters Clog?

At first glance, it might not make sense. Leaves are thin—so why do they block a gutter? The answer lies in movement and accumulation.

  • When it rains lightly, water can flow around scattered leaves without clogging.
  • But when it rains heavily, the rising water lifts and moves debris, creating clogs in two ways:
  1. Downspout Blockage: A floating “raft” of leaves gets pushed toward the downspout. The opening is too small for all the leaves to exit at once, causing a clog.
  2. Gutter Dam: Leaves get caught across the gutter, forming a barrier that blocks water flow, leading to overflow.

Key Insight: Gutters Can’t Clog If Debris Can’t Move

A stationary leaf doesn’t cause a clog. The problem happens when debris lifts, moves, and bunches together.

This is exactly why GutterBrush works so well—because it stops movement before it starts.

How GutterBrush Stops Clogs Before They Start

GutterBrush: A Simple, Proven Solution

GutterBrush is a cylinder-shaped brush that you simply insert into your gutters. The bristles allow water to flow freely while holding debris in place.

With GutterBrush in your gutters:
✅ Leaves and debris stay put—they can’t float, shift, or bunch together to clog.
✅ Water flows easily through the bristles and out the downspout.
✅ No clogs. No overflow. No headaches.

GutterBrush solves clogging, most leaves and debris blow over the top. Click here to see a time lapse video showing GutterBrush through an entire autumn season.

The "X-Factor"—Why GutterBrush Lasts So Long

Unlike other gutter guards, GutterBrush allows leaves to dry out and break down naturally. Suspended in the bristles, leaves are exposed to abundant air and harmful effects of the sun, causing them to degrade quickly rather than rotting in a pile. Leafs disintegrate quickly, in the sunshine and in just a few months leaves break and flow through.

Over time, small leaf particles wash through—meaning less buildup and longer-lasting protection. Some homeowners go 6-8 years before needing maintenance!

Other Gutter Guards vs. GutterBrush

Why Other Gutter Guards Fail

Most gutter covers, screens, and mesh guards restrict the gutter opening—which causes two major problems:

  1. They Get Clogged Themselves – Debris piles on top, blocking water entry and making maintenance a nightmare.
  2. Debris Ramp - They Send Water Past Your Gutters – When clogged, these guards act like a rain water ramp that angles to the outer edge of the gutter, causing water to shoot over the gutter edge, completely defeating the purpose of gutters.

Why GutterBrush is Different

✅ 100% Water Acceptance: Water flows in from all angles (360°)—not just from a restricted opening.
✅ No Overflow Issues: Because it sits entirely inside the gutter, water never gets diverted past the outer edge of the gutter. GutterBrush is different.
✅ No Fasteners, No Hassle: Unlike permanent covers, GutterBrush is easy to install and even easier to maintain.

Maintenance: Why GutterBrush is the Smartest Choice

Let’s be real—no gutter guard is 100% maintenance-free. If you have trees nearby, some debris will always enter your gutters. GutterBrush is easy to maintain. The question is:

👉 Would you rather maintain a complex, screwed-in guard… or a simple, removable system like GutterBrush?

How Do You Know When It’s Time for Maintenance?

How to Clean The GutterBrush SYSTEM (It’s Incredibly Easy!)

  1. Lift out some or all of the brushes.
  2. Bang them on the ground or a hard surface to get the debris to drop out.
  3. Clean the gutter and reinstall completely renewed to start over. Its easy!
  4. Click here to see a video showing GutterBrush easy maintenance after 4.2 years.

Other systems become a ramp sending the water past the gutter and maintenance is complicated and difficult with fasteners that need to be removed.
