Problems Gutter Covers Can Cause

Gutter Helmet, Gutter Topper (from what we've seen first hand in removing these products)
�Gutter covers that get nailed into the roof can void the roof warranty and cause leaks.
�Gutter covers that get glued onto the roof can destroy the roofing if they need to be removed or replaced.

Leaf Proof and Waterfall
�Gutter covers with tight curvature may not work in heavy rains, (rain simply skims off the product onto the ground missing the gutter completely)

Waterfall
� Can distort with the summer's heat and be rendered useless.
� Trying to remove the product can ruin existing gutters. 

Knutson and Leaf Guard
� Seamless all-in-one gutter cover devices, may require roof shingles along the roof edge to be significantly trimmed back.
� Seamless all-in-one gutter covers have to be replaced in total instead of replacement of a few feet of gutter cover if a tree limb damages the gutter cover system.
� All-in-one gutter/covers are almost impossible to repair leaky joints since they are inaccessible.
� may require use of much larger and unsightly leaders, i.e., 3"X4" instead of 2"X3"
� may be carry only half as much water as conventional gutters and therefore require more of the larger downspouts to handle the water flow
� Must be cleaned in heavy debris conditions from a ladder by a serviceman.

Flip and Clean
� gutters may warp with age causing the flip action to freeze
� a bath of putrid water drenching the person flipping the gutter (wear rain gear)
