The vision of brilliant color will soon abound signaling the change of seasons. As nature takes its
course, trees exchange their vivid green leaves in for rich harvest hues. The cycles continues as
leaves are shed from the trees, drift in the autumn wind and decorate the ground with beautiful colors.
While we take in this autumn splendor, it is hard to imagine the extensive damage that can be caused
by something as delicate as a leaf. Leaves can clog gutters and downspout's resulting in severe
problems and expensive home repairs. There are many gutter protection products on the market
today that can drastically reduce this risk. Alcoa Home Exteriors, a leading manufacturer of building
products, unveils its latest solution for gutter and downspout protection, LEAF RELIEF**.
During the dry summer months, a leaf-clogged gutter could be a potential fire hazard as dried leaves
are highly flammable. In damp warm temperatures, it can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
According to public health officials, mosquitoes lay their eggs in the stagnant water of clogged
gutters, which is a main concern in the outbreak of West Nile Virus. Recent reports have suggested
that by keeping gutters and spouts clean and debris-free, homeowners can reduce their risk of
contracting this disease. In the fall and springtime, leaves can get caught in a gutter, blocking
downspout's and causing water to overflow. This can lead to leakage or even worse, a major home
disaster.
When water is trapped, it can seep under the shingles, though the fascia or into the soffit, where it can
cause serious damage to exterior walls, insulation and drywall. Water damage can also cause roof
deterioration and ground erosion, which can be a particularly dangerous situation as this affects the
foundation of the house. When winter begins to set in, the leaves, twigs and pine needles that remain
in the gutter begin to decay and form a clay-like substance within the downspout's. During the day,
snow melts and runs down the roof into the gutter where, trapped by this dam of debris, it can freeze
overnight causing a serious obstruction. The weight of certain blockages can cause the gutter to pull
away from the house if it is not securely attached and can cause pooling next to the foundation.
Compatible with all roof systems, LEAF RELIEF**, guarantees quality leaf and debris protection at an
affordable price. The system utilizes patented Aluma-Perf**Technology perforated holes keep water
flowing and works efficiently to keep out leaves, twigs, seeds and small debris, including pine needles.
LEAF RELIEF** has proven 100 percent effective in a series of independent tests.*
LEAF RELIEF** offers exceptional volume capacity, capable of draining 305 inches of water per hour-
at least 25 times more flow than most competitors. Most ordinary dry debris is cleared from the
surface with a gentle 6 mph breeze, while wet debris is removed with a 23 mph wind. Virtually
undetectable from the ground, LEAF RELIEF** adds rigidity and durability to the gutter. The secure
mounting system stays firmly in place to resist high winds, ice and snow, ladder damage and pest
invasion.
Because LEAF RELIEF** mounts directly to the gutter, it never requires lifting a shingle. Alcoa Home
Exteriors backs LEAF RELIEF** with a 10 year product warranty.

Please take some time to read the information that we have compiled for
you on this subject as there are many companies out there selling products
to the un-informed public, mainly the elderly at extremely high prices. A
simple rule of thumb is take the amount of annual gutter cleaning cost and
multiply it by 15 years (the average life span of a
properly installed gutter system) if the price of your gutter protection is
greater...it's typically not worth the cost.
EXAMPLE: If the cost of cleaning your gutters is $100.00 annually and you
get a quote for a gutter cover of $3500.00
$100.00 x 15 yrs =$1500.00
NOW DIVIDE THE COVER COST BY $1500.00 TO FIND OUT HOW
MANY GUTTER SYSTEMS YOU WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE OVER
THE SAME TIME FRAME.
$3500.00
$1500.00 = 2.33 x 15yrs = 35yrs
In this example it would take 35 years to justify the cost of the cover price
verses just cleaning them and that would mean the covers/gutter system
would have to last 35 years which is not likely. That means that you would
spend $8155.00 over the same time period replacing the gutters and covers
every 15 years (if the system lasted an average of 15 years). If you do not
plan to spend more than the amount of time in your home it would take to
recoup the cost of the covers you purchase you may want to just pay to have
them cleaned.
