Leaves are falling. Are your gutters threatening to do the same? Throughout the year, they collect runoff water full of foliage, dirt, twigs, needles, acorns, and other debris that can accumulate and put stress on your gutters. Excess weight could cause them to fall off. At the very least, dirty gutters can block your home’s drainage system.

Sure, you could throw on a pair of gloves and climb a ladder to scoop out the muck. But you could also avoid gutter cleaning entirely and rest assured your home—interior and out—is protected from water damage. How? Install gutter protection.

What is the best gutter protection?

LEAFAWAY® keeps debris out of gutter troughs so you don’t have to climb a ladder to scoop soggy leaf build-up and remove blockages. LEAFAWAY® is custom manufactured on-site to provide seamless gutter protection and installed securely to your home’s fascia board with no need for roof attachments.

This one-piece rain-carrying system is covered by a debris-shedding shield that works to deflect wind-blown and runoff leaves, pinecones, needles, acorns, and twigs.

Why Should I Install LEAFAWAY®?

With LEAFAWAY®, your home will be protected from rotted soffit and facia boards, ceiling leaks, attic mold, and ice dams. Gutters with seams are prone to leaks. Seamless gutters are made of one continuous section and are less likely to fail. This gutter system maintains maximum water capacity, preventing overflow that could lead to foundation and landscaping damage. With LEAFAWAY®, you can:

• Save time, energy, and money you’d otherwise spend cleaning your gutters or performing other maintenance.
• Avoid risks such as falling off a ladder or electric shock from exposed wiring.
• Prevent ice dams and damage to the roof, walls, siding, foundation, and landscaping.

Water is one of the most powerful forces on earth and can cause major damage to your home. We’ve outlined some ways to detect and prevent water damage from roof leaks and flooding.

The Risks

Water damage can cause black mold growth, ruin your insulation, rot wooden framing, and compromise your home’s foundation, all of which can cost thousands in repairs and jeopardize your family’s safety. When water seeps into your home, it can discolor and stain your ceiling, floors, or walls. If you notice these or other signs of water intrusion, you should inspect your home to determine the cause. 

What causes flooding?

Your rain-carrying system is designed to properly channel runoff water away from the foundation of your home to prevent flooding. Downspouts that are installed too close to your house or that drain toward the basement wall can cause water to pool and erode the soil. In the winter, snow and ice can clog gutters so that they overflow and allow runoff to cascade down your home’s siding and puddle near the foundation. If you have a cracked foundation or poor sealing, low-lying areas in your home like basements or cellars can flood.

What causes roof leaks?

Roof leaks are often caused by damaged or worn roofing materials. The sun can melt the tar that seals shingles together, and shingles may become brittle and crack or rip off entirely from high winds. Rusted flashing, the strip of metal designed to seal joints where the roof meets a wall or chimney, may expose your home to moisture. Damaged boots around vent pipes and corroded mortar on brick chimneys are another culprit. Heavy, clogged gutters may damage the eaves of your roof, causing your soffit and fascia boards to rot. Ice dams allow water to pool on the roof and potentially seep into your home.

How can you prevent roof leaks and flooding?

It’s better to prevent roof leaks and flooding than deal with the aftermath of water damage. Spotless & Seamless Exteriors offers clog-free gutters with a Superspout™ that provides 50 percent more drainage than conventional downspouts. This revolutionary rain-carrying system protects your home from ice dams and flooding.

As fall approaches, you may be in for some daunting and inconvenient home exterior maintenance. Leaves drop from the trees onto your roof and clog your gutters. With a LEAFAWAY® Gutter Protection System, you won’t have to clean your gutters, and you can experience these other benefits as well:

Avoid injury

Gutter cleaning can be a dangerous task. Never climb up a rickety ladder or crawl along the edge of your roof again. The LEAFAWAY® gutter system does the work for you. Leaf guard gutters strain runoff water so that twigs, leaves, acorns, needles, and pine cones do not fill your gutters.

Save money on home repairs

LEAFAWAY® Gutter Protection keeps your gutters free of ice and prevents leaves from getting into your gutters in the first place so that you can avoid larger messes.

• Fallen gutters – In the winter, ice and snow can build up and prevent water drainage. An obstructed gutter will overflow and form icicles, which can tear the gutter from its place.
• Water leaks – Clogged gutters can cause a leaky roof, ponding, or rotting soffit and fascia boards.
• Insect invasion – The decomposing leaves that accumulate in your gutter are a source of food for insects, which could eventually make their way into your home.

Reduce maintenance

Depending on the number of trees on your property and the type of vegetation in your area, you may have to clean your gutters up to every three months. If your home is surrounded by pine trees that shed pine needles and cones year-round, you could save time and energy by installing LEAFAWAY® gutters.

Update your home exterior

As summer fades away, so does the greenery on the trees. Your landscape may begin to lose its color, but your house doesn’t have to. The LEAFAWAY® gutter system is available in many different colors that will complement your home. LEAFAWAY® gutter protection is manufactured on-site and fitted to your home’s fascia boards for a seamless finish. The one-piece seamless gutter design creates an efficient system that blends in with the contour and siding of your home.
