Let your rain gutter function like a rain gutter!
"Rain gutters were designed to collect rain water and debris from roof tops and they do that job very well. So, let them do their job!"
- Michael Wallace, Founder and Inventor of the Leaf TrapTM Self-Cleaning Rain Gutter System
Self-Cleaning Operation
The Leaf TrapTM self-cleaning rain gutter system leverages your rain gutter's innate ability to collect rain water and debris.
The secret of the self-cleaning operation is that collected debris is restrained from the downspout while allowing filtered rain water to escape to the downspout.
Why Focus on the Downspout?
Research shows that the downspout is where rain gutter clogs start.
The downspout egress from the rain gutter is too small to pass bulk debris. So, the downspout acts as the bottle neck while debris collected by the rain gutter continues to backup along the length of the rain gutter.
Clog-Free Downspout
The Leaf TrapTM collection chamber screens debris away from the downspout allowing only clear water into the downspout thereby preventing downspout clogs.
The Leaf TrapTM collection chamber offers a much larger opening representing a five fold increase in drainage area as compared to conventional downspout openings.
Notice how the rain gutter cleans itself! What a beautiful thing!
Removable Collection Chamber
The Leaf TrapTM collection chamber is removable so that it can be emptied once full.
Simply remove, empty and replace the Leaf TrapTM collection chamber to continue self-cleaning your rain gutter.
Clog-Free Operation
Gone are the days of climbing onto your roof to clean your rain gutters. Simply remove, empty and replace the Leaf TrapTM collection chamber at each downspout location to continue clog-free operation!
Why not use rain-gutter guards?
Simply put ... rain-gutter guards counteract the pure and effective operation that a rain gutter provides by forcing the debris to collect on TOP of the rain gutter instead of INSIDE the rain gutter. What a mess ...
How much rain do you think is being collected by this setup? Not only is rain running off the top of the gutter guard and pooling at the foundation of your home, but you are still having to climb up on the roof to clean the tops of the gutter guards!
Gutter guards add thousands of dollars of cost while rendering useless the intended operation of thousands of dollars worth of installed rain gutters. How does that make any sense?
