The patent design of Leaf Relief allows water to flow freely while leaves, pine needles, seeds and other natural debris are lifted away with only a gentle breeze. Leaf Relief installs easily on any gutters, new or existing, with a simple snug fit that is perfect every time. And it never requires lifting a single shingle! Leaf Relief is available in 10' lengths, will stand up to 91 lbs/ft of pressure on its surface and can handle up to 301 inches of rainfall per hour.
Solid aluminum construction, no rusting, no distortion, no painting needed.
It is hard to imagine the extensive damage that can be caused by something as delicate as a leaf. Leaves can clog gutters and downspouts resulting in severe problems and expensive home repairs.
During the dry summer months, a leaf-clogged gutter could be a potential fire hazard as dried leaves are highly flammable. In damp warm temperatures, it can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
In the fall and springtime, leaves can get caught in a gutter, blocking downspouts and causing water to overflow. This can lead to leakage or even worse, a major home disaster. When water is trapped, it can seep under the shingles, though the fascia or into the soffit, where it can cause serious damage to exterior walls, insulation and drywall. Water damage can also cause roof deterioration and ground erosion, which can be particularly dangerous situation as this affects the foundation of the house.
When winter begins to set in, the leaves, twigs and pine needles that remain in the gutter begin to decay and form a clay-like substance within the downspouts. During the day, snow melts and runs down the roof into the gutter where, trapped by this dam of debris, it can freeze overnight causing a serious obstruction. The weight of certain blockages can cause the gutter to pull away from the house if it is not securely attached and can cause pooling next to the foundation.
Compatible with all roof systems, Leaf Relief™ guarantees quality leaf and debris protection at an affordable price. The system utilizes patented Aluma-Perf™ Technology - perforated holes keep water flowing and works efficiently to keep out leaves, twigs, seeds and small debris, including pine needles. Leaf Relief™ has proven 100 percent effective in a series of independent tests.
Leaf Relief™ is also backed by a 10 year warranty. Northwoods Home Services is proud to offer this superior product!
