Clogged gutters are more than just a nuisance—they can lead to serious home damage. From roof leaks to foundation issues, ignoring your gutters can be costly. One of the main culprits behind clogged gutters? Leaves. But not just any leaves—different types cause different kinds of blockages. That’s where our advanced gutter leaf protection comes in, offering year-round protection and peace of mind.
What Types of Leaves Clog Gutters?
Gutters collect more than just rain. Trees shed leaves year-round, and when they land in your gutters, problems start. Here’s a look at the usual suspects:
-
Maple Leaves – Broad and flat, these leaves are notorious for layering and forming dense mats that block water flow.
-
Oak Leaves – Long and narrow, oak leaves can get wedged into tight spaces, especially around downspouts.
-
Pine Needles – Small but mighty, pine needles slip through many traditional gutter screens and accumulate quickly.
-
Sweetgum and Sycamore Leaves – These large, stiff leaves can easily cover entire sections of your gutter, halting water drainage entirely.
-
Small Debris – Along with leaves, twigs, seed pods, and flower petals can add to the clogging chaos.
Without gutter leaf protection, your gutters become compost bins. And wet, decomposing leaves are heavy—leading to sagging, overflowing, and even detached gutters.
