Gutters in Detroit metro have to carry ice as well as water, which is why the hangers matter more than the guards.
At a glance
- A downspout that ends at the foundation moves a wet basement problem, it does not fix it.
- Ice loads gutters far past what rain ever does, so hanger spacing matters.
- Guards reduce cleaning. None of them end it.
- Seamless gutters are formed on site, so the only joints are at the corners.

Common questions
How often should gutters be cleaned
Twice a year on a house with trees over it, once in late fall after the leaves are down at a minimum.
Do gutter guards cause ice dams
They do not cause them, but some designs hold ice and make an existing dam worse. The dam itself comes from heat leaking into the attic.
What size gutter do I need
Five inch handles most houses here. A large steep roof or one with a lot of area draining to one corner may need six inch.
