All Surface Cleaning | Gutter Screening and Filtering System
Gutter screen and filters can be a great way to eliminate or reduce one of life’s least favorite choirs. We have one of the best gutter protection solutions in Portland.
All Surface offers our own brand of gutter protection – GutterFlow Needle and Leaf Barrier. This great system uses an entirely different method than most other protection systems. It works on the principle of displacement. There is nowhere for the debris to go because the gutters are filled with this very porous material. It allows for your gutters to do what they were intended for – keeping rainwater flowing into your downspout and away from your home’s foundation.
GutterFlow is made from a very durable material – exterior grade, open cell polyethylene, formed with UV protectant and mildewicide incorporated right into it. It is ideal for the mix types of debris that are so common here in the Pacific Northwest. Needles as well as leaves are prevented by this system from entering your gutters, keeping them debris free!
For those who are looking for a lower cost alternative, we also offer installation of vinyl, snap in screens. While these do not offer the same level of protection as GutterFlow, in some situations they can be a reasonable solution. Screens do allow some smaller debris to fall into the gutter, thus still requiring period cleaning. However, they can help to reduce the frequency of cleanings.
An important fact we always tell our customers is that just because you have any gutter protection system, ours or a different brand, you do not get to ignore everything above your gutter line from that point forward. All systems will still accumulate a small amount of debris on top of them that need to be periodically removed. Your roof, being one of the larger cost components in your house will still need to have debris periodically removed from it.
Additionally, there are certain roof situations that will cause occasional over flow on any gutter protection system available. Long, steep roof valleys are a common area for some occasional overflow in the heaviest rains. Unlike many other companies, we would rather have you be aware of such possibilities up front so you can have the best possible set of expectations.
