Gutter Guards

LeafBlaster Pro® gutter guards keep leaves, pine needles and roof sand grit out of your gutter and allows the maximum amount of water to flow through your gutter.

LeafBlaster Pro® is made from stainless steel & won’t warp, crack, or rust, so you can expect protection season after season. It's micro-mesh combined with an aluminum extruded frame provide the perfect amount of strength and flexibility for the ultimate gutter protection.

If you're interested in collecting rain water with one of our rain barrels, LeafBlaster Pro® will improve water quality by filtering out leaves, pine needles, and small debris from your gutter and rainwater harvesting tanks!

Gutter guards are designed to block debris and organic litter from entering the gutters and, therefore, downspouts and drains. This eliminates the chances of clogging gutters to the point that water cannot flow freely anymore, causing the water to spill onto the sides and inevitably fail the gutter system.

The Key Benefits Of Installing Gutter Guard

1. Gutter guards save more time and money. Gutter guards prevent debris and dirt from accumulating in your gutters and clogging up the system. Installing them will significantly reduce the number of hours spent on removing litter from your gutters. That also means that your gutters only have to be cleaned every few years instead of twice a year.

2. Gutter guards help eliminate mice and insect infestations. Gutter guards also work as an adequate physical barrier to halt possums and rodents so they cannot crawl and navigate their way behind the fascia boards and into the roof structure of your house.

3. Gutter guards prevent rust and corrosion. Gutter swamped with wet & soggy leaves will be more likely to rust and corrode. Since gutter guards are designed to prevent leaves, pine needles, and other organic debris from collecting, they offer impressive protection against corrosion. Gutter guards can help prolong the expected lifespan of your gutters as well as the siding and roof structure of your home. 

Your rain gutter system requires a vast range of different parts to efficiently work, including what is known as a splash block. 

The splash block is a device manufactured from concrete or plastic that works to channel water even further away from your foundation, helping prevent erosion.

Downspout extensions can be essential on some homes because they direct water further away from the foundation. Downspouts that are not directing the flow of water away from the structure, thus allowing it to pool, can potentially be causing serious damage that can result in thousands of dollars of expenses. 

At Eternal Gutters, we install downspout extensions to ensure that water flows away from your home's foundation. We also may recommend having a splash block underneath your downspout or downspout extension to ensure that water doesn’t interfere with your landscaping. 

We are happy to sell and install rain barrels for those customers interested in reusing rain water for use as needed on their property. 

Why We Recommend Rain Barrels:

• Keeps water out of storm and combined sewer systems   
• Protects our rivers, lakes and streams from runoff pollution   
• Controls moisture levels around the foundation of your home   
• Provides oxygenated, non-chlorinated water to plants   
• Directs overflow to where you want it to be   
• Reduces water and wastewater bills   
• Conserves water in the summer months when demand is the highest

Some homeowners are surprised to learn that there are options for water drainage beyond the traditional gutter downspout - rain chains! Rain chains have been used for centuries in Asia, originating in Japan, where they are called kusari-doi. They guide rainwater from gutters to drains or decorative water receptacles, turning a relatively unglamorous activity into a compelling, attractive water feature. 

Like downspouts, rain chains prevent water from just falling out of a hole in your gutters and onto the ground, which can cause erosion and splashing. Instead, they break water flow and create a softer, more streamlined landing right over your flower beds. 

Rain chains should not always be used in place of downspouts, rather, in addition to, to ensure proper water drainage from your gutter system.
