Leaf Guards

Leaf guards protect gutter systems against advance damage. With leaf and debris build up and without proper cleanings, your gutters could lead to sever house hold problems. Leaf Guards add the additional benefit and protections against these problems.  

Reducing the difficulty and frequency of cleaning.  Most uncovered gutters must be cleaned at least annually. Leaf guards can cut the time frame to 3 to 5 years. The homeowner saves time, aggravation, labor and if cleaning is hired out, money.

Prevent sprout growth. When leafs and debris get stuck in your gutter along with it not being cleaned it can cause seeds to start sprouting causing additional weight to your gutters.
 

Reducing rust and decay.  When metal or wooden gutters gather water-soaked debris, they deteriorate more quickly. Leaf guards protect gutter systems against rust and rot.  In addition, wet vegetation gets heavy and can bend gutters out of shape and even pulls them away from the house.

 

Protecting against fire. In dry climates, gutters that have trapped a lot of debris are fires just waiting to happen. Even the embers from a charcoal barbecue can float through the air, setting crispy dry leaves and twigs ablaze.

Stopping the overflow of water during a storm or rainy season. When gutters are clogged with debris, they cannot do their primary job of diverting water away from the foundation and landscape below. Water pooling along a foundation can cause basement damage over time, and excessive water in a garden or lawn attracts wasps, mosquitoes and other insects who love puddles and mud as the perfect breeding ground.

Delivering clean, collected water. Some environmentally-conscious homeowners collect rainwater in barrels. The run-off from gutters with leaf guards is much cleaner than rainwater from an unprotected system.
