Under extremely dense vegetation cover, the gutter cleaning cycle takes place in fast motion. Homes located near centuries old trees or chalets in the woods are most likely to have clogging problems. Needles, samaras, moss, bark, sap, sand and dust are all part of a long list of potential ingredients that can clog your gutters.

In these harsh conditions, the T-Rex® continuous hanger^TM may let micro-debris through, which may in turn affect the performance of your gutter system. For several years now, experienced installers used to working with the T-Rex have managed to efficiently solve this issue by creating an access panel just above gutter downspouts. Each company has developed its very own technique to keep the interior of gutters easily accessible.

A Standardized Product

After several requests from installers and homeowners, Alu-Rex now offers an access panel, manufactured according to specific standards and available everywhere across the country. For environments prone to clogs, we recommend that you have an access panel just above each downspout and at the other end of the gutter.

That way, you’ll simply have to remove two tiny screws in order to inspect the interior of your gutter. The access panel leaves enough room for an arm to clear any debris. Take this opportunity to flush the interior with a hose if necessary. Screw the access panel back in place to complete the operation.

Whether it is for routine maintenance or simply out of curiosity, you will always have easy access to your gutters!
