Gutter guards can give you and your family peace of mind. Because with an effective gutter protection system installed, you will avoid the troubles caused by clogged gutters. A gutter guard that works can also protect your home from problems that arise when water settles around your home. Clogged gutter systems can cause leaks while water resting against homes can crack foundations. These and other risks are eliminated with LeafFilter™ – the #1 consumer-rated protection system in the nation. And whether you’re near the company’s Northeast Ohio headquarters, down South in Nashville, Tennessee or way out West in Seattle, Washington, only you can decide if LeafFilter™ is right for you.

As with any investment, it is important to do your research before making a purchase. There are numerous gutter guards, or gutter protection systems, on the market. How do you evaluate your options and make the best selection? Here are two guidelines that should help you identify the most important features in a gutter protection system.

• Never Buy a System with Holes, Gaps, or Openings

Eliminate any gutter guards with holes, gaps, or openings because they will allow unwanted debris to pass through and enter your gutter system. Even reverse curve systems where water adheres to the curve and runs through the front channel of openings will clog up with pine needles, maple spinners, and worst of all, pesky bees! And the guards at your local home improvement store with diamond shaped gaps or slits in them will become a home for leaf stems, pine needles, and other debris. Not a good solution!

LeafFilter™ guards that use a surgical, stainless steel microfilter screen are ideal because nothing sticks to the material. The LeafFilter™ gutter protection system is also completely sealed, which prevents debris from penetrating the filter, and allows only water to flow through your gutters. With it, you will never have clogged gutters again!

• Never Buy a System that Disturbs Your Shingles

Next, eliminate any gutter guards that are installed underneath your shingles or in a manner that will disturb your shingles in any way. There are a variety of guards on the market that are mounted underneath your shingles.

This means the product installers physically break the seal of the first and second row of shingles on your roof, stuff their guards underneath, and nail it back down. When the installers disturb your first rows of shingles, it breaks the adhesion seal between the roof and the shingles. And this automatically voids your roofing warranty. Breaking the adhesion also invites snow and ice to creep up under the shingles and create all sorts of havoc whether you’re in Northeast Ohio, Nashville or Seattle.

Instead, select a gutter protection system with guards that sit on top of your existing gutters. This will save you money by eliminating the need to replace your entire gutter system. You’ll also preserve your roofing warranty! So remember, don’t buy gutter guards that have holes, gaps, or openings. And be sure to avoid all that fasten to your roof, under your shingles.
