Leaf Protection

The gutters in your home serve as a means for draining rainwater from your roof. This is important because it prevents water from collecting around the wall of your property or seeping into the foundation. Excess moisture could cause damage to your home exterior and overall property, as such your gutters need to be properly taken care of. Maintaining your rain gutters includes selecting the best gutter protection system for them. This helps to reduce the possibility of clogged gutters in your home. Leaves and other tree debris could get blown to your rain gutters and block them. If that happens, rainwater will not be drained as it ought to and the excess water can cause roof, wall, or even foundation damages. Hiring professional contractors like Rain Gutter and Siding Experts to install leaf protection for your gutters is your best guarantee.

What is Leaf Protection?

Leaf protection involves installing a form of gutter filter or protective covering to keep the leaves from entering the gutters. There are many leaf protection options for you to select from. You can choose to either add the leaf protection to an already existing rain gutter system or install it alongside a new gutter.

Types Of Rain Gutter Covers

The main types of rain gutter covers include:

• Foam-filler: Made from polyurethane substance, this rain gutter cover is highly flexible and can fit into any roof or gutter type. It works by absorbing the water and preventing tree debris from passing through. It is quite affordable and can be installed easily.
• Bottlebrush: This type of leaf protection helps to keep leaves out of your gutter. It is best used as a protection for debris that is not heavy such as leaves because the water passes through the brush, leaving the debris behind.
• Mesh screens: This rain gutter cover is made of a perforated metal sheet that is installed under the shingle or over the gutter. This gutter guard is quite simple to install and effectively protects your gutters from leaves and tiny debris while allowing water to easily pass through.
• Nylon: The nylon type of rain gutter covering is suitable for not only keeping debris out but also for preventing the build-up of snow and ice in your gutter system. This leaf protection type can easily be installed in your gutters without the roof shingles.

Reverse- Curve: This is the most ideal option for any home as it is designed to follow the natural slope of the roof and curve at the tip, thus allowing only water to flow into the gutter. Leaves and other debris simply slide down the roof to the ground.
