Gutter Guards & Leaf Screens

Our gutter guards

The right solution for clogged gutters

If you’ve ever had to clear gutters clogged with decaying debris or hire a contractor to excavate your property and fill cracks in your foundation, you understand the importance of having an effective rainwater drainage system for your home. Overflow caused by clogged or cracked gutters increases the risk of water seeping under roofs or into basements. We carry Leaf Relief gutter guards and continuous fastening systems—long-lasting solutions to protect your most important investments.

Protecting your existing gutter with the Leaf Relief Classic System®

Leaf Relief Classic® is designed to be easier to maintain by letting the wind do most of the heavy lifting. Because their surface is made of perforated aluminum, debris sits on top, dries out, and is carried off by the breeze. Backed by a 25-year clog-free warranty, the Leaf relief classic keeps existing gutters free of debris.

Cutting Edge Technology with Leaf Relief® DuoPro

The double membrane keeps debris from getting inside the gutter. The offset holes make it the perfect filter, allowing water to drain freely while blocking pine needles and leaves without ever getting clogged.

The suction created by the two membranes makes it possible to drain three times more water than ever recorded in the heaviest storms. The inner membrane draws water through the wider holes.

FAQ

Let’s Talk Gutter Protection

Which Leaf Relief® products should I choose if I have problems with pine needles?

The Leaf Relief® DuoPro keeps debris from getting inside the gutter. The offset holes make it the perfect filter, allowing water to drain freely while blocking pine needles and leaves without ever getting clogged.

Do wet leaves stick to Leaf Relief® products?

Only temporarily. Leaf Relief® products boast a smooth, perforated surface. Just as they may temporarily stick to the hood of your car, leaves and debris that land on the surface of Leaf Relief® products dry quickly in the sun. And unlike your car hood, the surface of your gutter is perforated so they dry faster!

A little wind is all it takes to sweep away dry leaves and debris:

A 10 km/h wind effectively removes wet leaves and about 100 pine needles per linear foot.
A 37 km/h wind can remove about an inch (2.5 cm) of pine needles per linear foot

Can the installation of Leaf Relief® products create leaks in my roof?

No. Leaf Relief® Products do not cause any leaks. No shingles are raised and no nails or screws go into the roof during installation.

Beware of look-alike products that require you to lift the shingles. These products can lead to leaks. In time, the asphalt shingles dry out and become brittle. It’s never a good idea to lift shingles when installing gutter protections systems, whether they’re nailed in, screwed on, or simply set in place.

Also, the manufacturer’s warranty on asphalt shingles is void if the shingles are lifted, peeled away, or modified.

Can Leaf Relief® products withstand heavy water flow?

Even if all the perforations get covered, which never happens because the wind sweeps away leaves and debris, Leaf Relief® products can drain up to three times the quantity of water ever recorded in the heaviest rainstorm.

How? Because wet leaves remain permeable. Water still gets between the leaves allowing it to drain into the gutter. Water will always find its way into the holes.

Additionally, the exclusive design of Leaf Relief® products features an approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) deep basin. Testing in the lab and in the field has shown this to be the right depth to catch more water without stopping the wind from doing its job of sweeping away leaves, pine needles, and debris from the surface.

Beware of look-alike products that are completely flat. Water can overflow when products are not equipped with a basin.

What’s the difference between Leaf Relief’s DuoPro, Continuous Hanger or Classic products?

The Leaf Relief® Classic is an gutter protection system that prevents leaves and debris from getting in and clogging the existing gutter. This product is simply placed on your home’s existing gutters.

The Leaf Relief® Continous Hanger for new gutters that securely fastens gutters to your home, making them 50% stronger than traditional systems.

Like the Leaf Relief® Continuous Hanger, the Leaf Relief® DuoPro is a continuous hanger system that reinforces the gutters. Its microfiltration dual-layer provides complete protection for even fine debris such as pine needles.

Do Leaf Relief® products require maintenance?

Leaf Relief® products are among the most efficient gutter protection systems on the market today.

In the vast majority of cases, a light breeze is enough to sweep away normal debris. In areas under the roof or under shallow overhangs on sloped roofs, debris may build up where the wind cannot reach it.

We recommend that you occasionally clean out these areas to keep your Leaf Relief® products in good working conditions.

Aren’t metal grills or plastic mesh enough for my home?

It’s tempting to believe that a simple plastic mesh that sells for $4 per 20-foot (6.1 meters) roll can do the job, but this just isn’t the case.

The openings in these products are much too large. Debris can get inside, leaves get stuck, which can clog the gutters and turn into fertile soil for plants to grow in. These products are also not rigid, so they bend under snow and ice.

In short, these products will still force you to periodically climb a ladder to clear out your gutters
