Im a roof cleaner in the Washington area (pierce county) and anyway a client of mine has the Leaf Filter System and while i was ontop of their roof they had gaps of atleast One inch from panel to panel. I told my client about this and they tried to contact them about it and Leaf Filter hasnt yet fixed the problem. Horrible customer service.

Yep, that’s why all of these outfits can offer a no-clog guarantee for your gutters. It’s never the actual gutters that clog!

Leaf Filter system: install on our home ~6yrs ago and no one mentioned that the micro mesh collects fine seeds, twigs, grit, and who knows what, and then proceeds to grow moss on it! the gutters may run free of crud, but the buildup on the top of the gutters is ugly and you can’t just rinse off moss-buildup either! So someone still needs to get on a ladder to clean up another mess! and when there’s a nice layer of buildup, the water just careens off the roof onto the deck and ground, so why have gutters??

I LOVE the Leaf Filter system. The Chicago area had repeated freeze thaw cycles about 3 weeks ago, NO PROBLEMS!!! Handled the weather like a champ. I asked the representative about the ice dams, if it would be an issue? He explained what would happen and it did. If water is coming off your roof then water will go through the system. They fixed my gutters then installed the system in october 2009. We have finally found something that works, with the small honey locast leaves, maple helicopters and the PINE NEEDLES. I had tried two different do it yourself types of gutter protection after originally purchasing Sears low profile all in one gutter and top in the mid 80′s. Had them replaced with regular gutters. Went to a trade show and seen Leaf Filter demonstrated, it sparked my interest. The representative came to my home and really had his information ready. He made a believer out of me with his experience in home improvement. After installation he came back and earned my neighbors business too. Best product I have seen for keeping everything out while allowing all the rain in. Something that actually works, can you believe it. Peace be with you. *

After over 20 years of cleaning my rain gutters, I’ve finally found the perfect method of keeping them clean without the use of a dangerous ladder. I got a brand new, American Made, lightweight attachment tool, that should fit most standard 2.5″ wet/dry vacuum hoses. It is a one-piece, 60″ long, durable, pvc tool that fastens snugly onto the vac hose. When I put it into the rain gutter and turn my vac on, it literally vacuumed out all gutter debris, wet and dry junk, while I stayed firmly and safely on the ground. I saved myself money, time, energy, and most of all my own safety while doing a once nasty job that now is almost fun to do. This new rain gutter cleaning tool has been hailed as “the Best Gutter Cleaning Tool on the Market Today” and in my opinion it really is everything that other customers have said about it and more.. Check it out on their webpage and read all the comments and watch their videos and see why I’m so pleased with my find! C.J.
