Home Building
My 25 year old gutters were working well in handling moderate to heavy rainfalls. In fact shortly before purchasing the
property we experienced a 9 inch downpour in our area. I inspected the house the next day and found no trace of
any water penetration in the basement. After purchase this condition continued. but as we have trees on our
property the gutters needed cleaning from time to time. I was attracted, unfortunately, to the Leaf Guard "NO CLOG"
guarantee.
After installation we noticed an increase in dampness in the basement after heavy rains culminating in actual
water penetration into the basement over the last two summers. I had the Leaf Guard gutters removed and have
" now found no water penetration after heavy rains "PERIOD".
Before this action I witnessed in heavy rains the "Virtual" non-existence of the gutters as the rain poured right
over this "Patented" product and headed directly for my foundations ! ! As guaranteed they did not clog perhaps
due to the fact that there wasn't enough water in them to clog ! ? Their performance must be much better in Arizona.
Further, when the Leaf Guard gutters were installed an adapter or converter was used to make the transition
from the down spout to the underground drain pipe protruding out of the ground at that location. I was later
informed by Leaf Guard representative that a better type is "Usually" used. They replaced the converter and
"SEALED IT" after a "SINK HOLE" had formed at that location 36 inches long and 28 inches deep.
This erosion had formed over a two year or more period from the water leakage from unsealed converter.
After the adapter was sealed the erosion stopped. I backfilled and tamped the hole at my expense.
The erosion was not spotted sooner because of ground ivy which covered the ground at that location. However
that ivy was there at the time of the initial installation.
The Leaf Guard Product DiD Not Clog, so, if your foundation is sealed tight,and you have an interior drainage
system with "DUAL PUMPS" and a "BACK UP POWER SOURCE" you probably need not be concerned if you
have leaf guard gutters and are away from home during a storm. Otherwise have your flood insurance paid up.
I wrote a letter to Leaf Guard detailing my experience with their product and received "NO REPLY OF ANY KIND"
In summation I would say "THEIR PROFIT" and "MY MISTAKE" I HOPE NOT YOURS.
