If the outlet in a rain gutter is clean, water will ALWAYS flow out of that gutter EVEN IF THERE IS DEBRIS IN THE REST OF THAT GUTTER. Conversely, a rain gutter could be perfectly clean but if the outlet is clogged water will NEVER flow out of that gutter, NEVER!

Properly flowing rain gutters are all about the OUTLET, the clean, clear OUTLET. The following rain gutter outlet is small. It clogs easily and often.

When debris reaches this outlet it clogs the outlet. This clogging is the CAUSE of gutters not working and eventually results in water damage to homes.

The SpoutOff outlet below is big. The SpoutOff outlet virtually will not clog. When debris reaches The SpoutOff outlet it has no place to go BUT DOWN. The SpoutOff outlet is ALWAYS clear so whenever it rains water flows over, under and around the debris following "the path of least resistance" down the downspout, out of the gutter and away from your home.
