Installing a Leaf Guard

Down pipes for eavesdrop or gutters leading water from the rooftop were pretty important but there is a lot of labor when it comes to cleaning it. They get clogged with debris. How would you correct that?

Well, sure you can go up on the roof and clean out the gutters all the time but that is a lot of work. Why not consider this—take your down pipes and cut eight inches out of the down pipe, then, install one of the leaf guard that type of item, system here that is called drain guard. They are available at the building supply stores and install it in place.

Now, look what happens? Just open up the little trap door here and inside there is all debris. That way you can empty that out daily in the event of a storm but the water will run around the leaves out through these holes in the backward screen and down the drain. And there you have it. It is just that easy.
