I am one of the installed and it works people if you are talking about
Leafguard brand gutters and not just generic guards. In the absolute worse
storms you can expect some overshoot in the most difficult corners where a
ton of rain comes down but even then it acts like a ski lift and the rain
falls far from the foundation. The only thing negative is the price. THey
are expensive. Also mine were installed with oversized downspouts which is
recommended. Some installers give cheaper prices by using the smaller
downspouts.

I'm thinking of installing leafguard on my house, which is surrounded by
several douglas fir trees that is dropping pine needles.

I have used google group to read about leafguard in this newsgroup.
Basically, some people said it works (the ones who have it installed) and
some people say it won't work (sounds like they don't have it installed).

So, has anyone installed leafguard and found that it doesn't work? If so,
in what way? If it is clogged with debries, does leafguard actually give
you free gutter cleaning? If the water overshoot the gutter, do they come
and dry your basement?
