Leaf guards are attachments fitted to your existing gutter to cover and protect it from leaves, dirt, and other debris that can build up and cause clogging in the gutter system. Leaf guards are the gutter’s protective coverings. There are different types of leaf guards, including brush inserts, mesh screens, and reverse curve systems, among others. Mesh screens are the most common type, and they are differentiated from the rest by their fine metal or plastic mesh that blocks debris but allows water to pass through.
Leaf guards do not affect the effective functioning of the gutter. Instead, leaf guards work by optimizing the function of the gutter, by allowing it to remain clear and functional, and by blocking larger debris. Leaf guards work on the principle of adhesion, which enables rainwater to flow around the hood into the gutter, while deflecting leaves and debris.

Like many other important house systems, leaf guards require professional installation. Leaf guard installation entails an assessment of your existing gutter system, a selection of the suitable type of leaf guard, and the secure attachment of the chosen leaf guard on the gutters. During rain gutter guard installation our professionals ensure that the leaf guard is properly fitted to remain effective in preventing debris buildup in the gutters.
Gutter guard installation further requires the use of necessary equipment and knowledge that ensure the safety of these guards on your roof.
