“What a great experience. The salesperson, Daniel, gave a great presentation of the product, explaining how it worked and clearly answering all of my questions. Do to some great scheduling, I was able to get it installed the next day by Nathen, who did a fantastic job cleaning and repairing my gutters plus installing the new LeafFilter gutter guards. I was very impressed by the professionalism of both the salesperson and installer, and I would highly recommend LeafFilter to anyone looking to update their worn out gutter screens.”

“Noticed a small commercial concerning gutter protection. I had a problem with my protection slats being on the ground and not on the gutter. I called for an appointment. Very satisfied with the installation. All in one day they installed and cleaned the gutters, replaced some 72 feet of damaged gutter, and added some new end pieces for directing the water away from the building. I am very satisfied.”

Trustpilot
★★★★★

“Everything about the install was quick and efficient. 8 days from initial phone call to completely cleaned, re-aligned, and covered gutters was way quicker than I was expecting. There’s been 3 hard rains since the install and the gutters are running freely. The real test will be next spring when the oak leaves, flowers, and pollen strings are in full season, but I don’t expect any problems.”

Austin’s Climate Challenges

Austin Weather Threatens Gutter Systems

Austin’s climate presents unique challenges for homeowners’ gutters throughout the year. With average annual rainfall of 34 inches often coming in sudden downpours, functioning gutters are crucial. The city experiences hot, drought-prone summers, powerful spring storms, heavy fall leaf debris, and winter cedar pollen season with occasional freezing temperatures—all contributing to potential gutter issues and home foundation problems without proper protection.

Spring

Spring brings powerful thunderstorms delivering 2-4 inches of rainfall monthly. Live oaks, pecans, and elms release pollen and seedpods creating sticky residue in gutters. These materials combine with rainfall to form clogs that can damage Austin homes’ foundations.

Summer

Austin summers regularly exceed 100°F with drought periods followed by sudden thunderstorms. This extreme heat can warp unprotected gutters while rapid downpours—sometimes exceeding 1-2 inches hourly—overwhelm systems filled with decomposing debris from nearby trees.

Fall

Fall introduces significant leaf shedding from Austin’s diverse urban forest including cypress, oak, and pecan trees. Cold fronts with wind gusts up to 30mph drive debris into gutters, while intermittent rains create decomposing matter that blocks water flow.

Winter

Winter brings Austin’s notorious cedar pollen season and occasional freezing temperatures, with 10-15 freeze events annually. Accumulated debris can trap moisture that freezes and expands, potentially damaging gutters and preventing proper drainage during winter rain events.

Did You Know?

Based on Austin’s ~34 inches of yearly precipitation, a single story 2,000 sq. ft home gutter system will handle over 42,398 gallons of water annually.

Austin’s Tree Canopy: Gutter Protection Challenges

Austin’s diverse urban forest creates unique gutter protection challenges for homeowners. From native live oaks shedding year-round to seasonal deciduous trees and drought-tolerant species, Central Texas yards require consistent gutter maintenance. When heavy spring thunderstorms and occasional flash floods hit Austin neighborhoods, unprotected gutters filled with local tree debris can quickly lead to water damage and foundation issues.

Live Oaks

These iconic Austin trees shed small leaves and pollen catkins throughout the year, especially during February and March. In neighborhoods like Tarrytown and Travis Heights, these materials create dense debris that can block water flow during Austin’s heavy rainfall events, requiring seasonal gutter checks.

Cedar Elms

Prevalent in Central Austin and along Shoal Creek, cedar elms drop tiny leaves each fall that easily slip through basic gutter covers. During Austin’s hot summers, this decomposing material forms sludge that attracts mosquitoes during our extended mosquito season (March through November).

Ashe Junipers

These ‘cedar trees’ release both winter pollen and scale-like foliage throughout Northwest Austin and the Hill Country. Their fine debris combines with oak materials during Austin’s spring storm season, creating stubborn clogs that prevent proper rainwater channeling away from your home’s foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

More Information on Gutter Guards in Austin

Your Complete Guide to Gutter Protection

Different Types of Gutter Guards Explained

Brush Guards

In Austin’s oak-heavy neighborhoods like Tarrytown and Westlake, brush guards rapidly accumulate debris. These bristle systems trap acorns, twigs, and oak pollen that blanket Central Texas during spring and fall. When summer thunderstorms or Memorial Day floods hit, water struggles to penetrate the debris-laden brushes, causing overflow. Homes near Austin’s greenbelt face additional challenges as brush guards become ideal nesting spots for seedlings and organic matter, requiring frequent maintenance that’s especially difficult when debris becomes entangled.

Foam Inserts

Austin’s triple-digit summer heat accelerates foam insert deterioration, especially in sun-exposed areas of Circle C and hillside homes. These porous materials quickly collect fine particles from live oaks and cedar pollen that blankets Austin neighborhoods. During humid periods following Hill Country rainstorms, foam creates ideal growing conditions for moss and seedlings. Water absorption during heavy downpours causes weight stress on gutter systems, potentially damaging fascia boards. Foam performs particularly poorly during Austin’s flash flooding events when rapid water volume overwhelms the saturated material.

Screen Guards

Screen guards struggle with Austin’s unique debris challenges from the abundant live oaks in neighborhoods like Allandale and Bouldin Creek. While blocking larger items like pecan shells, the mesh still allows cedar pollen and seedlings through. During intense Texas downpours, screens become overwhelmed, causing water to shoot over rather than through the guard. Metal varieties are problematic in Austin’s climate as they expand during 100°F summer days and contract during cooler nights, creating gaps over time. Homes near Lady Bird Lake face additional challenges from increased organic debris.

Reverse Curve/Hood Guards

Reverse curve guards rely on water adhesion principles that falter during Austin’s intense summer heat and dramatic rainfall events common in hilly neighborhoods like West Lake Hills and Rollingwood. These systems struggle with fine debris from live oaks and mountain cedars. Their solid-top design creates a perfect surface for debris accumulation, requiring wind to clear them—problematic in sheltered areas. Installation typically requires lifting shingles, potentially voiding roof warranties and creating vulnerabilities during Central Texas storm seasons when winds exceed 50 mph.

LeafFilter’s Micromesh Technology

LeafFilter’s surgical-grade stainless steel micromesh is specifically engineered to handle Austin’s unique challenges. The 275-micron fine mesh blocks even the smallest debris while utilizing surface tension to maximize water flow. Unlike other systems, our uPVC frame never deteriorates in extreme temperatures, and our pitched design prevents debris accumulation common to other guard types.

Professional Installation vs DIY

Safety Warning

Before climbing a ladder, ensure that you have thoroughly read and followed all safety instructions.
