How does it prevent clogged gutters?

In order to stop gutter leaves and debris from building up and obstructing gutter flow, LeafBlox brush sections completely fill the gutter. Rainwater flows freely between the bristles and out of the downspouts because debris cannot clump and flow to clog the gutter outlet.

Will debris and leaves from gutters get tangled in the bristles?

Gutter overflow and clogging aren't caused by individual debris particles, although leaves and other debris can become temporarily lodged in the leaf guard bristles. The gutter keeps flowing because the leaves and debris in it cannot collect and flow to clog the gutter downspout.

Is it possible to use LeafBlox year-round? all the way through winter?

Yes, LeafBlox protects your gutters all year round and, in northern climates, can even help to reduce gutter ice during the winter.

What feature of gutter covers, screens, and guards is the most crucial?

The most crucial thing is to allow water to enter the gutter. New gutter leaf guards, for example, are infamous for acting as a ramp, shooting rainwater—clean or dirty—fast past the gutter. All gutter guards eventually get dirty and need to be cleaned, but the majority are fixed to the gutter and can be both expensive and time-consuming to remove for cleaning.

Do my downspouts and rain gutters need to be replaced?

No, you don't need to install new downspouts and gutters. LeafBlox clears blockages in gutters and comes in five sizes that fit into any gutter size. All correctly installed rain gutters with the appropriate slope and gutter downspouts should function flawlessly with them. Simply clean the gutters and slide them in.

Why is LeafBlox necessary?

What should I do if my gutter downspouts go into the ground?

To prevent a major drainage expense, it's critical to keep gutter leaves and debris out of the gutter downspout when it drains underground.

To prevent gutter blockages, gutter leaves, and debris from clogging underground downspouts, simply fill your gutter with LeafBlox.
