Leaf Sentry is an easy-to-maintain gutter protection system. Most of the time, a gentle breeze or rainfall will clear away most leaves and twigs. If stubborn debris clings to the leading edge, just spray it with your garden hose to wash it away. In sheltered spots or under overhangs on gently sloped roofs, debris can gather where the airflow isn’t strong enough to carry it away. This is quite common and something to keep an eye on to help maintain your roof's integrity. We recommend checking these spots periodically to keep Leaf Sentry functioning properly.

Yes. Leaf Sentry panels and accessories are WUI Fire Class A compliant, which is the highest fire-resistance rating. They’re approved for use in wildfire-prone areas and meet current ASTM code requirements.

This means they’ve passed the required fire tests for flame spread and ember exposure. They won’t contribute to fire spread on the roof or at the gutter line — exactly what inspectors and insurers look for in WUI zones.
