S1 E6: One Month in: The lull before the storm

The gutter guards have been installed for a month. But are they performing equally?

In this Episode...

The gutter guards have been installed for a month. It’s still early spring, but we’re seeing evidence that the flowers, buds and pine needles are dropping from nearby trees.

Is this the lull before the storm?

In Episode 6, we will show you all twelve gutter guards on both sides of the garage. You’ll see that the gutter guards are doing what they’re supposed to: keeping early spring leaves, flowers, and debris out of the gutters.

But are they performing equally?

Despite so little debris having fallen by this time, LeafFilter, which is featured on the north and south sides of the garage, is already beginning to show signs of debris accumulation. Is this a troubling omen of things to come for this heavily hyped marketing heavyweight?

Meanwhile, the only solid gutter cover in the test, LeaFree, and the popular micro mesh GutterGlove Pro are nearly as clean as the day we installed the gutter guards.

GutterLove, aka LeafLock, has been poked by a pine needle; HydroShield, aka “Diamond Mesh,” is collecting stems and a debris in its embossed channels that promised greatness, while the weep holes on Clean Mesh and downward dips on LeafSolution are beginning to fill with shingle granules.

How is Costco’s DIY micro mesh gutter guard, GutterGlove Easy-on faring against the competition?

Will these early issues cause problems for the gutter guards down the road?

Tune in for a close up look at the gutter guards just before everything changes for the worse!
