Also called rain collectors, gutter boxes and conductor heads, gutter leader heads are primarily used to boost your home’s appearance from the outside. Aside from that, they work to prevent water overflow and ice buildup in the gutters and downspouts. Leader heads also enable air to enter the conductor, prevent vacuum lock and improve water flow.
Polk Contracting, Inc., one of the leading companies in the area for gutter and door replacement, shares some of the unique benefits of this component.
A leader head drives water from the roof down to the gutter system. Because of it, you save on the plumbing required and end up maintaining your home’s curb appeal. Leader heads ensure clean aesthetics and stop dirty streaks from damaging your exterior. In general, it helps improve your overall value because people pay more for a house with a well-designed leader head installed.
Your roof is a major investment, which is why you want to hold off on the roof replacement for as long as you can. After all, doing so can put a strain on your finances. Fortunately, a leader head helps ensure a healthy home structure, since one of its main functions is to channel water away from your foundation. Professional gutter and siding contractors like Polk Contracting, Inc. can install this vital component for you.
Leader heads are some of your most noticeable exterior elements. That said, it’s important to pick one that’s of the same material and color as your gutter. It also has to be suitable for your home’s architectural design.
