Gutter FAQs
Lots of systems are available to keep the leaves out of the gutters, but most of those systems have design flaws that don’t show up until years later (usually in the form of rotted wood and roof issues). Get a clog free system designed to handle the leaves, and protect your home from water damage.

Clogged gutters don’t just cause a mess — they can quietly create serious, expensive damage throughout your entire home. Here’s a clear, homeowner-friendly breakdown of what can go wrong when gutters can’t move water away properly.
Each year, residential water damage costs U.S. homeowners over $11 billion, with the average incident involving uninsured or underqualified contractors exceeding $32,000.
No. Ever Clean Gutter System’s patented self-cleaning gutter protection uses surface tension to shed leaves and debris naturally. Backed by a lifetime, transferable no-clog guarantee, it ensures you’ll never climb a ladder to clean gutters again — guaranteed for life in all our service areas.
While a small amount of fine debris may enter the system, Ever Clean Gutters are uniquely engineered to self-clean. How does it work? Our owner and designer, Russell Brown, developed a patented system with the ideal pitch, angle, and width to maintain the perfect water flow—strong enough to flush out debris of any size.
-
- Completely Enclosed System: Ever Clean installs a gutter system that is “completely enclosed,” meaning there are no vertical openings (slots or holes).
- No Mesh Screens or Micro-Screens: One of our gutter design features is avoiding use of mesh screens or micro-mesh type solutions, which tend to clog quickly.
- Surface Tension & “Nose” Design: Rainwater is directed so that it flows over and around a nose or leading edge (“nose of the Ever Clean Gutter System”) rather than dropping into the gutter from above.
- Fascia-Mounted Gutter System: The system is mounted to the fascia board, up and under the roof’s drip edge (not simply nailed under shingles or added onto the outside).
- Trough / Gutter Sizing: The gutter trough (the part that collects water) is designed to be sufficiently large (depth, surface area) so it can carry water effectively.
- Strong Mounting Hardware: They use multi-function brackets that support both the top (nose) and bottom (trough) of the gutter system
- Warranty & Guarantees: Their system comes with a lifetime warrantyhttps://evercleangutter.com/how-does-ever-clean-gutters-self-cleaning-technology-work/

There are no vertical openings for leaves and debris to enter, and no screens to clog. Rainwater flows over and around the nose of the Ever Clean Gutter System and migrates downward into your gutters by the simple physical law of water surface tension.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH GUTTERS? Ever Clean Gutter System is designed to work in harmony with that surface tension with our large curved hoods to encourage the water to hug the hood and be deposited fully into the gutter rather than run over the gutter (as our competitors’ systems) which will cause damage to your foundation and your home.
It’s engineered to handle extreme rainfall and pine needles common in Raleigh–Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati, and Southern Indiana. Ever Clean Gutter System’s wide hood and large trough outperform all typical gutter covers to keep water flowing and prevent roof or foundation damage.
Unlike traditional gutters that can quickly clog with leaves, pine needles, twigs, and storm debris, Ever Clean Gutters are engineered to handle high volumes of rainwater while preventing overflow that can damage roofs, siding, fascia boards, basements, and foundations. The article also highlights how the system helps reduce standing water, erosion, mold, and ice-related issues while providing homeowners with a low-maintenance, long-term gutter solution that performs reliably throughout severe weather conditions.

- Gutter Size Matters: Clog free systems need to be large, offering lots of surface area for the water to cling to as it flows into the gutter and down the downspouts. Make sure the gutter trough is at minimum 3 inches in depth in order to carry the water to the downspouts.
- Proper Installation Matters: Clog free systems must mount securely, using multi function brackets that support both the bottom and the top, maintaining proper placement over many years of use. Any system that installs gutter brackets that only support the hood or are missing either the placement clip or forward pitching support may decrease in performance immediately as the trough begins to sag.
- Location Matters: The Ever Clean Gutter System is mounted to the fascia board, positioned up and under the roof’s drip edge (never to the roof deck or into the shingles), which protects the fascia wood, preserves the roof warranty, and manages water flow properly. Beware of gutter systems or gutter accessories that interface or are attached to your roofing material. If not installed to the proper location, damage and rot are possible, and can possibly affect your roof’s warranty.*
