Yes. Snow melting and running down your roof can run off the side of the gutter and refreeze on the ground below when you have any gutter guard installed. Water frozen on surfaces can create slipping hazards and cause serious bodily harm.
CAUTION: ICICLES & ICE DAMS can form on your gutter during freezing conditions. Icicles can break and cause serious bodily harm. Properly installed, operated and maintained heating elements on your roof and gutter can melt icicles and ice dams. Use a licensed electrical contractor in good standing for installing any heating element products.
Snowmelt can drip off the edge of your gutter and potentially refreeze on the ground, creating a tripping or slipping hazard. When it’s not freezing outside and snow on your roof melting away, snow melt gradually comes down the roof and can slide across the mesh and off your gutter. If that happens and you have concerns about this, you should remove the gutter guard in those areas. This anomaly of snowmelt runoff can happen with all gutter guards.

About 99% of the time the small roof sand grit will not clog the mesh. You can have challenges with inside miters (inside gutter corners) where there is high accumulation of small debris and rainwater that congregate at the bottom of the roof valley. These areas will need to be brushed off from time to time. In the straight runs of gutter, generally speaking, when the rain drops come down, they splash the roof sand grit off. There will always be a little grit there in that front trough, but it cycles off the mesh, over the gutter and onto the ground and is replaced by other grit coming down the roof.

Yes. However, sometimes inside miters at the end of a roof valley can cause challenges for any gutter guard, causing rainwater to run over in a downpour. If that’s the case, you may want to install a perforated rainwater diverter along the edge of the roof on the inside miter. This will help break up and dissipate the rainwater over a wider area rather than at one point. Our rainwater diverter is made out of aluminum material, perforated with small round holes and attaches to the end of your roof valley just above the stainless steel micro-mesh.
However, the diverter will collect debris behind it, so at some point you would need to clean that out. You may be able to reach the brush up there and scrape some of it off. Cleaning behind the diverter is very infrequent. The diverter will significantly reduce the amount of brushing needed on the mesh.
A great way to clean off your gutter guard (or any gutter guard for that matter), is with the use of The Gutter Guard Brush. It’s designed to clean off any gutter guard without having to get on a ladder or roof. You just screw this special brush on the end of any standard extension pole, then from the ground, just reach up and brush it off.
