No LeafGuard Conditions

Clogged aluminum eavestrough and downpipes

What Happens Without LeafGuard on Tree-Covered Properties

Homes surrounded by large or mature trees often experience repeated clogging during the fall. Without leafguard, eavestroughs can remain blocked until all leaves drop and a cleaning is performed.

In some cases, this results in multiple cleanings per year just to keep the system functioning properly.

What LeafGuard Actually Does

Alu Rex leafguard product differences

Alu-Rex Systems Do More Than Block Leaves

Alu-Rex systems such as T-Rex® and DoublePro® act primarily as continuous hangers, reinforcing the entire eavestrough system while also limiting debris entry.


Even on heavily treed properties:


  • Downpipes will not clog
  • Occasional surface debris checks may still be required


These systems also carry manufacturer warranties and add structural strength to the eavestrough.

In areas with heavy fall and seasonal storms, like the Greater Toronto Area, leafguard systems help reduce maintenance and overflow.

Cost vs Ownership

When LeafGuard Makes Financial Sense

Leafguard is often a good investment for homeowners who clean their eavestroughs multiple times per year, plan to own the property long term, and want to reduce ongoing maintenance while strengthening the system. 

Making the Right Choice

When LeafGuard Makes Sense — and When It Doesn’t

Leafguard is often a smart investment for homeowners who clean their eavestroughs multiple times per year, have large trees over or near the roof, and plan to own the property long term. For homes with minimal debris and infrequent cleaning needs, a standard eavestrough system may perform perfectly well without additional protection.


We focus on helping homeowners choose the option that fits their property and maintenance expectations — not pushing one solution for every home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@centuryaluminum.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Leafguard is worth considering if you clean your eavestroughs multiple times per year or plan to own the home long term. Reduced maintenance and added structural support can offset the upfront cost over time. 


 

In some cases, yes. Homes with large trees directly over the roof may still require occasional surface debris checks. However, debris does not enter the eavestrough or downpipes when LeafGuard is properly installed.


Yes. When installed correctly, Alu-Rex leafguard systems prevent debris from entering the eavestrough, which means downpipes do not clog. 


Systems such as T-Rex® and DoublePro® act as continuous hangers, reinforcing the eavestrough and helping it support snow and ice loads more effectively than standard hangers.
