Will WaterFall keep pine needles, Douglas firs, seeds, etc. out of the gutter?
A. Yes for areas with a moderate number of trees and leaf fall! For areas with many trees and heavy leaf fall, installation of the WaterFall High Foliage Insert is recommended. Before WaterFall installation, it is important to make sure that the gutters are thoroughly cleaned. After installation, since one “step” of The WaterFall system hangs over the next, debris will fall over the side of the house. In moderate tree and leaf fall areas, any debris that manages to pass over the “steps” through the small gap into the channel and through the drain holes, will flush through the clean gutter underneath because there is no larger debris to hang it up and cause a clog.
