One of the most important issues homeowners need to think about when choosing a gutter guard is one that most of them aren’t really aware of. Quality gutter guards make it infinitely easier to maintain a home’s gutter system, but there is no such thing as a zero-maintenance product. Any company that claims otherwise is being deceptive in order to try to make a sale.
The truth is that leaves and debris still have to go somewhere even after a cover or insert has been installed, so buyers need to choose gutter protection that’s easy to maintain. And that’s exactly what you get with GutterStuff, the one and only original foam insert.
Easy Installation and Easy Maintenance
GutterStuff foam inserts are very simple to install and easy to take care of after installation. Basically, you need only a good pair of scissors or snips to cut the last piece to length on a run, and that’s it. It is also very simple to maintain GutterStuff foam filters in order to maximize their performance and extend the life of your roof.
Maintaining Proper Gutter Function
It is recommended that homeowners clean off their rooftops once a year after they install their GutterStuff foam filters. Sweeping off any leaves and other debris from the roof, especially valleys and other areas where it can gather, makes it easier for the gutters to perform at a high level over time. And this also helps prevent premature shingle wear, particularly in northern climates with the wintertime freeze/thaw cycle.
It’s even easier to take a leaf blower to the roof and blow off any debris to prevent it from gathering atop the GutterStuff gutter guards. Just a few minutes once a year will keep your foam filters and roof in great shape for years to come.

The Leaf Defier doesn’t just “defy leaves” that wind up in a homeowner’s gutter, but protects the home against all kinds of damage. The product is made out of weather and heat resistant “multi-polymer.” Even during the worst storms, rainwater is allowed to simply flow through it and down the spout.
Leaves don’t have a chance to clog the gutter. Clogs allow water to accumulate and potentially damage the house by getting behind the walls or under the roof and causing rot. With Leaf Defier installed, leaves are washed away with the rain water. Or, if the leaves and other debris are dry, the wind will just blow them away.
This multi-polymer insert comes in four foot lengths and is simple to install, and doesn’t even need tools for installation. It just needs to be slipped under the gutter hooks and then fitted along the gutter’s length and width. Many gutters are about five to six inches deep, and Leaf Defier can be custom made to fit any gutter.
Because it’s treated with a biocide and a fungicide, unsightly and potentially toxic mold, mildew and other fungi are prevented from growing in a gutter installed with Leaf Defier. The product is also treated to resist sun damage. After many hours of testing alongside chemically coated and untreated urethane filters, Leaf Defier performed noticeably better. After 4500 hours of testing its surface degradation was just .09%. 4500 hours would correspond to five years of exposure to the elements. It’s also fire resistant. When methenamine tablets were ignited on a section of the multi-polymer and a section of one of the other fabrics, the fire burned right through the other fabric but hardly affected the Leaf Defier material at all.

Cleaning gutters is one of the most hateful household chores. The person assigned to this undesirable task must drag out a ladder and fish out the filth and grime that collects in the rain gutters. A difficult task for the young and healthy, elderly or ill homeowners may not even be able to complete such a job. While it can be tempting to simply ignore the build-up found in gutters, this can cause other problems. Gutters are designed to channel water away from the house, and clogged gutters may result in water pooling into the foundation or under siding, causing damage in these areas.
Some companies have come up with alternatives to the dangerous task of cleaning gutters on a teetering ladder. Gutter guards or gutter covers feature a cap that covers the gutter, allowing water, but not debris, to enter the channel. Unfortunately, these can be costly to install and maintain. A great alternative to cleaning by hand or installing expensive gutter covers is the Leaf Defier gutter insert. The Leaf Defier consists of an open cell polyurethane insert that fits directly within the gutter. The water flows through this material and out the downspout, just as it should. Unlike gutter covers, the Leaf Defier fits directly inside the gutter like a filter, making it virtually invisible from ground level. Lightweight and flexible, Leaf Defier is easy to install by both homeowners and professionals.
Leaf Defier is composed of a material that is designed to withstand UV exposure and extreme heat and cold. The material is also treated with Biocide and Fungicide to help inhibit the growth of mildew, fungus, mold, and moss. Such sturdy construction ensures that the highly effective Leaf Defier will help keep gutters clean for many years to come.

This prevents unnecessary clogging, blockage, and water damage that can occur if rain water gets stuck inside the rain gutters for long periods. To prevent clogging and water damage, individuals can install GutterBrush Gutter Guards to protect their rain gutters.
Shaped like a rounded brush with firm bristles, GutterBrush Gutter Guards sit firmly between the walls of rain gutters to form flexible seals that block out larger pieces of debris like fallen leaves or garbage kicked up by the wind. This kind of debris gathers in rain gutters over time, forcing homeowners to regularly clean out the gutters to prevent debris blockage and water damage.
GutterBrush Gutter Guards work to prevent blockage, brushing off most leaves and garbage on contact and trapping the rest inside.

It’s one of those lazy fall Saturday afternoons. The neighborhood is alive with children playing football in the streets and their parents busily raking the leaves into a pile like there’s no tomorrow. The smell of burning leaves fill the air. Leaves slowly depart from the branches like snowflakes falling from the sky, and into…gutters. Cleaning gutters has become one October pastime that most homeowners could do without.
Cleaning gutters takes a lot of time, hard work, and no hang-ups with getting a little dirt under the fingernails. The first precautions one must take when cleaning gutters is to wear gloves at all times. This offers protection from any dirt, debris, or other harmful foreign substance that may come into contact with the skin. Next, a beneficial tool to remove the leaves with is a trowel, which is shaped like an elongated diamond. One last essential is a ladder, for gutters that seem to reach the heavenly realm. It is a very intimidating feeling taking those first few steps up the ladder, and reaching the top offers no sudden relief. The top of the ladder feels weightless, and the danger of falling back first into the hedges below increases by the minute. Using the trowel, the homeowner can begin shoveling all the excess leaves out of the gutter like shoveling snow off a sidewalk. Several hours later, the exhausted homeowner looks at the emptied gutter with a gleam in his eye and wonders why he couldn’t just pay one of the neighborhood kids to do it.
Following the aforementioned steps can ensure a safe and productive day of cleaning gutters. The proud homeowner can rest assured knowing that all of these safety guidelines were met. He then ponders the possiblility that next month he will have to do it all over again.
