Dealer Gutter Plus Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions & Answer About Gutter Plus
Will Freedom Filter Handle Ice and Snow?
Freedom Filter is impervious to winter. Drains & dries so quickly, it won't turn into a block of ice, but keeps accepting more water. Snow and ice melt quickly due to the heat-absorbent color. If it's warm enough to drip into the Freedom Filter, it's warm enough to drain. Freedom Filter also helps to avoid ice dam back-ups by keeping the gutters and downspouts clear and free flowing. It has no effect on, or will it be affected by, ice dams that are a result improper insulation. Also, ice and snow sliding off the roof will no longer get hung up in the gutters.
How Much Water Can Freedom Filter Handle?
Freedom Filter can handle the highest water flow. Freedom Filter is tested to handle in excess of 24" rainfall per hour - more than double the highest rainfall amount ever recorded. Unlike other systems, even handles high-flow roof valleys.
How Durable is Freedom Filter?
Freedom Filter won't bend, dent or crack like aluminum, or be damaged by ice and snow, falling tree limbs, or high winds.

Will Freedom Filter Affect My Roof?
No. Freedom Filter is preferred by Roofing Contractors: No damaging nails or screws; won't void roof warranty. Allows homeowner to re-shingle without destroying their gutter protection.
When it rains does the filter become too saturated to where it becomes heavy and the added weight can possibly bring down or compromise the gutters themselves?
Freedom Filter only retains 10 to 15% of the water that passes through it, and that for only a short period before it dries - it's much too porous to hold any water weight. When gutters sag or collapse, it's usually from the weight of water and debris trapped because of clogging.
What about the little pebbles that fall off the roof shingles and where do they go? Do they get caught in the black stuff or are the holes big enough for them to drain out?
Neither actually. "Shingle grit" is too large to enter through Freedom Filter's pores and just sits on top. It's also extremely porous and does not affect drainage or performance in any way.
Why do I need to protect my gutters?
Your rain gutters perform the critical task of collecting rainwater from the roof and channeling it safely away from the structure. Gutters choked with debris and leaves cause water to overflow uncontrollably and damage the roof, siding, paint, interior walls, basement and foundation resulting in expensive repairs. It can also cause flooding and landscape erosion. Debris that remains in the gutter decays into a slime that holds moisture. This muck layer accelerates the deterioration of the gutters and creates an environment where mosquitoes, termites and even vegetation can grow. Protecting your gutters from clogging debris is essential to protecting your home.
