WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GUTTER PROTECTION?

We are a family owned, Michigan based company with over 42 years experience in the construction industry. We invented and patented our product to solve a problem.  We couldn’t afford the higher end gutter protection products, and we knew from experience that the cheaper products just didn’t work.  So Dave invented and created Gutter Flow System.  We are proud to use a local manufacturer and serve our community. 

WHY DO I NEED GUTTER PROTECTION?

If you’re looking at Gutter Protection sites, you probably already know the devastating and costly damage that can be caused from overflowing gutters.  Clogged gutters overflow, causing rotten fascia, roof leafs, mold, wet basements and damage to landscaping.  When the clogged gutters freeze, they become very heavy often pulling gutters off the house.  Ice dams cause dangerous ice cycles, and the ice can creeps up under the shingles and between the gutters and fascia.  This causes roof leaks, mold and rot.   In addition the water near your foundation freezes, pushing the walls in, which creates cracks and leaks.  Gutter Flow System is your affordable solution.

HOW DOES GUTTER FLOW SYSTEM WORK?

The advanced technology behind our patented revolutionary interlocking system, creates and maintains an open airway within your gutter.  This is very important.  Each sturdy 4’ aluminum piece is interlocked with the next to create this clog free pathway.  Each piece has plenty rectangular air inlets and vertical water tines along the sides, to maximize air within the channel.  This allows the water to move freely through the gutter and downspout without choking off.  Even with plenty of debris on top, our innovative system generates a gravitational pull of the water through the debris and into the open air pathway.   So even with stuff in the gutter…. IT’LL STILL WORK!

BUT WHAT ABOUT DEBRIS GETTING ON TOP?

Great question!  We’ve all been “conditioned to believe” that the gutters won’t work if there’s anything in them.   And with other gutter protection products, that’s true.  However, our pioneering and revolutionary Gutter Flow System has proven that theory to be wrong.  With Gutter Flow System ITS OK TO HAVE STUFF IN THE GUTTER because the gravitational pull forces the water through such debris and is directed through the open clog free channel to the protected downspout. 
Where the air goes, the water flows!          
If you choose to leave debris on top of Gutter Flow System for multiple seasons, a couple things will happen.   1)  it dry up and be blown off with the wind.  Or 2) the debris will start to decompose into micro particles and wash through the system.   

CAN GUTTER FLOW SYSTEM HELP WITH ICE DAMMING?

Yes!  Gutter Flow System combats ice buildup and the damage it causes.  Because warm air rises, and the air temperature within the open channel is warmer than the outside air, this rising air quickly melts a line on each side of the gutter.   As the ice and snow melts off your roof… it has a place to go with Gutter Flow.   If there is no open airway, then the ice melts and refreezes, causing a buildup of ice and ice damming which can be devastating to your home. 

IS IT HARD TO INSTALL?

NO. It’s super simple.  Start with clean gutters.  Then put the first 4’ piece into the gutter, interlock the next, slide it in, and repeat.  It’s very DIY friendly.  But if you’re not comfortable on ladders, we have our preferred contractors who can do it for you.   See our installation page for further information.

IS IT MAINTENANCE FREE?

Short answer is Yes! We guarantee your gutters will function clog- free when we install GFS. To give you that extra piece of mind, we offer a FREE EFFICIENCY DEMO (in the greater Lansing area) after you’ve had GFS for 2 – 3 years. This way we can reassure you how well GFS is still working at your house, in your gutters, and with your leaves.  It is important to remember that in most conditions, GFS is a self-cleaning system. The black aluminum and open air channel, quickly dries the debris and the wind blows it out. The dried out leaves will crumble into “small pieces” and wash through the system. If you have extreme conditions, such as an abundance of large trees, little to no sun exposure, and/or inside corners with a steep pitch (roof); the debris may compost on top of the system. However, no need to worry, GFS will still allow your gutter to catch the heavy rains. The water will perc through any debris and flow to and through the open channel. Gutter Flow System gives you the peace of mind that your gutters will function year round without you having to clean them out.

DO I HAVE TO REMOVE THE GUTTER FLOW SYSTEM TO CLEAN MY GUTTERS?

No.  If you do choose to clean out your gutters, you can blow the debris off the top with a leaf blower. Remember, this is completely optional. Your gutters will still function even with some leaves on top, because the open channel will maintain a drain within your gutters. 

WILL GUTTER FLOW SYSTEM WORK WITH PINE NEEDLES?

Yes.  There are no tiny screen holes for pine needles to get stuck in or clog up.  Notice in our video “Same Day.  Same Rain.  Same House.”  We have three very large pine trees.  The back gutter has Gutter Flow System (under 4 years of debris) and it works great!  Even with Pine needles.

WILL GUTTER FLOW SYSTEM VOID MY ROOF WARRANTY?

No.  Unlike many other gutter protection products, Gutter Flow System does not alter or interrupt the integrity of your home, roof system or gutters.   Gutter Flow System fits securely in the inside of your gutter with no screws or attachments to the gutter or roof. There is no need to disrupt your roofing system or gutters.
