The Best Gutter Guard Protection: LeafFilter Gutter Guard

For years I’ve been talking about protecting your home from the outside-in. And that includes protecting it against water intrusion. You always want water to move AWAY from your home’s foundation.

 

Cleaning out your gutters is a messy and time-consuming chore. But clog-free gutters are necessary if you want to protect your home from potential water damage. Gutter guards are a smart investment that can prevent debris from clogging inside your gutters and reduce the amount of maintenance.

 

In my 40+ years in the construction industry, one thing I ALWAYS teach homeowners is the importance of diverting water away from your home’s foundation. When it comes to gutter guard protection, I highly recommend LeafFilter gutter protection.

 

What Is a Gutter Guard?

Gutter guards are protective covers that keep leaves, sticks, and other debris out of your gutters, stopping clogs before they start. They cut down on maintenance and protect your home from water damage. When water gets into your house, you may have to deal with rotting wood, roof leaks, and basement flooding. So to help divert water away from your home, one must-have is a good quality gutter guard.

 

The Best Gutter Guard – Mike Holmes’ Pick

How many homeowners face damage from clogged or poorly maintained gutters? In my career, I’ve seen this A LOT. And only some homeowners admit to cleaning their gutters, which is a problem. You are just leaving your home vulnerable to mold, leaks and water damage. You want a gutter protection system that will give you peace of mind.

LeafFilter is a smart choice if you want a gutter system that actually works and lasts. 

Here is what I love about it:

• It has a surgical-grade stainless steel micro-mesh guard that blocks most types of debris—only water gets through. Not every gutter guard in the market will do this so effectively. LeafFilter actually accepts 200% more water than competitors. 
• The uPVC frame is tough, pitched just right, and built to shed debris while standing up to weather, sticks, and even pests. 
• It’s installed flush with your roof—no damage to shingles.
• It’s backed by a transferable lifetime warranty. 
• It’s installed by trained local pros. They will repair your gutters if needed, no coverups. 
• Installed in as little as a day
• Clog-free gutters, guaranteed
• Lower maintenance for homeowners because fewer large debris accumulate in the gutters
  

With LeafFilter, you’re getting a proven, worry-free system that protects your home for good. That’s why we chose to install it on a Holmes on Homes job.

What Should You Look For In a Gutter Guard System?

Effective Filtration: 

You want a gutter guard system that effectively filters debris while allowing water to pass through. LeafFilter does this, with a stainless steel mirco-mesh fine enough to block most debris while still letting rainwater freely flow into the gutters.

 

Durable Materials:

Gutter guards are constantly exposed to the elements, so you need your gutter guards to be durable. Surgical grade stainless steel and uPVC material resist corrosion, warping and UV damage better than cheaper plastic or aluminum options. LeafFilter Gutter Guard System uses surgical grade stainless steel and uPVC to ensure long-term performance without rust or degradation. 

 

Secure Installation: 

You want a gutter guard system that fits securely to your existing gutters without damage to your roof or gutters, and you don’t want leaks, sagging or debris buildup. LeafFilter is installed over your existing gutters with a sealed, low-profile design that doesn’t disturb your shingles and stays secure even during heavy rain or snow.

 

Low Maintenance:

The whole point of a gutter guard is to cut down on cleaning and maintenance. A good system keeps debris out and water flowing so your gutters don’t get clogged. LeafFilter Gutter Guards stop buildup and save you from the messy job of cleaning your gutters.

 

Warranty and Support:

A strong warranty reflects confidence in the product. LeafFilter stands out with a lifetime, transferable warranty, providing homeowners peace of mind.

 

Holmes Tip: Do your home maintenance tasks every fall and spring, especially after severe weather. A few hours of maintenance can save you thousands in water damage repairs — and that’s making it right.

LeafFilter Cuts Down on Maintenance:

Even with gutter guards, you can’t just install them and forget about them. They cut down on cleaning big time, but you should still check them a couple of times a year— I suggest, spring and fall are the best times or after a heavy rain storm.

 

Clear off any buildup like dirt, or pine needles on top of the gutter guards, and make sure your downspouts are flowing properly. The more trees you have on your property, especially those that shed heavily like pines or maples, the more often you may need to perform maintenance. Also always keep trees close to your house trimmed and away from the roofline.

 

The climate across North America varies greatly and has an impact on your home. Areas with frequent storms, high winds, or heavy snowfall will likely require more attention.

 

A little maintenance goes a long way to keep your system working right and your home protected.

 

You can keep paying someone to do it or risk doing it yourself—or you can stop the problem before it starts by investing in good quality gutter guards. Quality gutter guards, properly installed by trained pros, keep debris out, reduce maintenance, and protect your home year-round. That’s just smart.
