Gutter Systems in Cincinnati, OH and Surrounding Areas

Here is a brief guide to Superior Products Leaf Relief gutter systems in Cincinnati, OH.

  • How much rainfall will Leaf Relief handle?

    Intertek Testing Services NA Ltd provided controlled testing conducted by an independent laboratory, resulting in a certified flow rate for properly installed Leaf Relief of 301 inches of rain per hour for a clean roof surface 20 ft above the gutter. Such a drainage rate is 25 times greater than the official rainfall world record (Kilauea, Hawaii—12 inches in an hour).

  • What is the maximum roof pitch for which Leaf Relief will work properly?

    We have yet to see limitations in correspondence to the roof pitch.

  • Does Leaf Relief allow water to overflow my gutters?

    When properly installed, Leaf Relief keeps gutters from becoming clogged and overflowing due to the interior of the gutters or downspouts filling with leaves, twigs, needles, and seeds.

  • Does Leaf Relief work with pine needles?

    Yes. Leaf relief will keep everything out of your gutters, including pine needles. Testing shows that pine needles have little effect on the flow of rainwater.

  • Do I need to clear leaves, twigs, and debris from Leaf Relief?

    As one of the most efficient gutter protection systems available today for residential applications, you must do minimal work to retain your system. In most cases, standard debris is lifted away with a gentle breeze. However, debris may collect in sheltered roof areas or overhangs on shallow-pitched roofs where air cannot lift away debris.

  • Can I lean a ladder against gutters with Leaf Relief installed?

    Tested and shown to be stronger than open gutters when properly installed, Leaf Relief can hold up against most ladders. Please note that the gutter's thickness, as well as the ladder's resistance, is critical. We highly recommend that customers check with the manufacturer of their gutter systems before using a ladder.

  • Does Leaf Relief cause ice damming on my roof in the winter?

    No. Leaf Relief provides you with several winter weather advantages over competitive open gutters and competitor leaf removal systems, including:

    1. Less weight build-up in gutters  
    2. Faster de-icing and resumed flow when the temperature gets above freezing.  
    3. For most slopes, ice and snow slide over Leaf Relief and off roofs easier than open gutters  
    4. Unlike many competitive products, installing Leaf Relief does not interfere with the roofing materials. Therefore, water, snow, or ice cannot cause damage by leaking through your ceilings.
