Gutter leader heads, or gutter conductor heads, are often considered a minor detail on a home’s exterior. However, they are more than just an adornment to boost your home’s curb appeal. They also play a critical role in preventing damage to your home.
A gutter leader head mainly serves as a catch basin to help direct water from your rooftop to the drainage system. Typically located under the soffit, it allows air into the line, which helps prevent vacuum lock and gurgling.
Gutter leader heads are usually made from sheet metal, and they are available in various shapes and sizes. If you are planning a roof or gutter repair, you might want to consult your contractor about whether or not a new gutter leader head would be needed as well.
Since there is a wide selection of gutter leader head styles and designs, here are a few tips to help you pick the right product for your home:
