Leaf Guard Installation in Slidell, LA

Keep Your Gutters Flowing — Year-Round Protection from Clogs and Debris


Why You Need Leaf Guards in Southeast Louisiana

Living in Louisiana means dealing with heavy rainfall and plenty of falling leaves, pine needles, and debris—especially in areas like Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, and Abita Springs. If your gutters aren’t protected, clogged systems can lead to:

  • Overflowing gutters and water damage
  • Roof leaks and wood rot
  • Sagging or detached gutters
  • Frequent, unsafe ladder cleanings

Leaf guards act as a protective barrier that keeps debris out while allowing rainwater to flow through—saving you time, money, and hassle.

What Are Leaf Guards?

Leaf guards (also called gutter guards or covers) are fitted over the top of your gutter system to block debris from entering while letting water pass freely. They reduce the need for constant cleaning and prevent clogs that lead to gutter failure.
