Leaf Guard Installation – Keep Your Gutters Clean and Protected
What Is a Leaf Guard?
A leaf guard is installed over your eavestroughs, and gutters, to keep leaves, debris, and dirt from blocking the drainage area. In principle, a leaf guard allows for the free flow of water through the gutters into the drainage system but screens all foreign materials that would accumulate and block the gutter with resultant overflow. They take several different styles to meet the variance in different eavestrough systems and ensure that your gutters remain functional and clean year-round.
Why Is a Leaf Guard Important to Your Eavestroughs?
Without a leaf guard, eavestroughs can easily get clogged by leaves, twigs, and debris, especially during fall. The clogs may eventually bring a variety of issues that include, but are not limited to:
- Overflowing water that is going to cause damage to your roof, fascia, and siding.
- Foundation damage because of the pooling of water close to your home’s base.
- Mold growth and water stains on walls.
- Ice dams during winter can result in leaks to your roof. A leaf guard installation helps avoid all these issues by ensuring that your gutters are free and flowing, hence reducing frequent cleaning and maintenance.
What Types of Leaf Guards Does Sherak Ltd Offer?
Sherak Ltd offers various types of leaf guard solutions to fit into different types of homes and gutters. Some of the options that we have include:
- Mesh leaf guards: Fine-mesh screens that allow water to pass while keeping even small pieces of debris out. Reverse curve leaf guards: These are specially designed to let water curve into the gutter while keeping leaves and other debris falling off.
- Leaf guards of the brush type: These simple, brush-like guards sit inside the gutter and block leaves and debris while allowing water to flow through the gutters. Our professionals will guide you in your choice of the right leaf guard system for your needs and environment in which you live.
How Much Does It Cost to Install Leaf Guards?
The costs for installing leaf guards depend on many things: the size of your house, the type of leaf guard system you are installing, and the intricacy of the installation process. On average, Leaf guards cost between $500 to $1,500 for a full installation. Because leaf guards eliminate much of the overall maintenance, they can save you money in addition to preventing costly water damage. Contact Sherak Ltd based on your home’s needs for an exact quote.
What Are the Advantages of Installing a Leaf Guard?
There are many advantages of installing a leaf guard for the homeowner:
- Saves in Maintenance: You will not have to spend a lot of time cleaning your gutters, since one leaf guard installed does much in saving your time and effort.
- No More Clogs: Since a leaf guard blocks debris, you are relieved from having to deal with clogged gutters anymore and thus avoid the water overflows.
- House Protected: A leaf guard prevents water from damaging your roof, siding, and even the foundation of your house by allowing proper drainage.
- Prolongs the life of your gutters: Because leaf guards reduce wear and tear on your gutters from clogs and overflows, they help elongate the life of your gutter system.
- Prevents infestation by pests: Leaf guards also prevent pests, in the form of birds and insects, from making a home in your gutters. These many benefits make leaf guards one of the smart investments you may consider as a homeowner in terms of protecting your property against water damage and reducing maintenance costs.
How Does a Leaf Guard Improve the Performance of Your Eavestrough System?
A leaf guard increases the effectiveness of working of your eavestrough system as water will be able to flow freely and smoothly into the gutters and downspouts. Without blockage, the rainwater will be diverted away from the foundation of your house, thereby stopping water damage, erosion of soil, and flooding in the basement. Leaf guards also ensure the system works efficiently in periods of heavy rainfall or snowmelt by keeping debris out of your gutters, enabling the handling of larger volumes of water without issues. This better performance they ensure is quite important where heavy rainfall is a common phenomenon, let alone heavy tree cover.
