Challenge
With locust trees in the yard of this Grosse Ile, Michigan, home, LeafFilter gutter guards were no protection at all. The leaves and small debris from these types of trees sitting on top of the LeafFilter guards caused the gutters to clog and greatly increased the risk of costly water damage to the home. Because the existing guards were installed flat like a shelf, the leaves had nowhere to fall. They sat on top of the gutter protection and left the homeowner with no choice but to conduct necessary maintenance to prevent clogging.
Solution
With the existing gutters in good condition, we removed LeafFilter gutter protection before completely cleaning them out. For efficiency, we realigned, reflashed, and resealed the gutters with 50-year sealant. To ensure stability, replacing loose hangers and adding hidden hangers every 3ft versus the standard 6ft. In addition to one patented inside miter solution, we custom fit (on site) our Klean Gutters Leaf Guard with the pitch of the roof for proper protection. We happily back every installation of Klean Gutters with a 100% lifetime maintenance free, clog-free guarantee and a lifetime transferable warranty as well!
