Guaranteed for life, LeafFilter® offers “gutter protection perfection”! Indeed Leaf Filter® is the largest gutter protection company in the United States. They have installed 269,592,100 feet of LeafFilter® gutter protection (and counting) to 1,797,250 customers, with zero clogged gutters.
Difficult to clean and dangerous to access for cleaning, clogged gutters also cause roof and siding damage, basement flooding, and even foundation damage. Compared to existing gutter protection systems: hood, foam, screen and brush, LeafFilters® are installed on a pitch, on existing gutters, with no gaps, large holes or openings. Comprising a patented three-piece system (micromesh to screen even shingle grit, a temperature-resistant unplasticized polyvinyl [uPV] frame, and hangers inside the gutter to secure the filter), LeafFilters® cause debris to simply roll off, and only water to collect inside gutters. Debris that includes dirt, leaves, pine needles, even grit and seed pods,
