Norfolk’s Climate Challenges
Year-Round Gutter Protection
Spring & Summer
Norfolk’s proximity to the Chesapeake Bay creates intense afternoon thunderstorms from June through August—storms that can dump over an inch of rain in under 30 minutes. When gutters fill with pollen from oak trees and seed debris common throughout Hampton Roads neighborhoods, that sudden rainfall has nowhere to go. Water backs up and overflows down siding, pooling near foundations in our low-lying coastal areas. A micromesh screen made from surgical-grade stainless steel is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering while capturing rainwater during these heavy downpours.
Fall & Winter
The challenge in Norfolk’s fall and winter isn’t just leaves from the abundant oaks and maples in neighborhoods like Ghent and Colonial Place—it’s how wet debris decomposes through our mild, damp winters. That organic material sits in gutters for months, trapping moisture against fascia boards and creating conditions for rot by February. A completely enclosed gutter system helps prevent this cycle by keeping debris out entirely, so water diverts away from your home properly even during the Tidewater region’s wettest months.
Did You Know?
Just a small rainstorm can divert hundreds of gallons of water to your foundation if your gutters are clogged. Norfolk receives an average annual precipitation of 45.2 inches. With this substantial level of rainfall, proper gutter maintenance is essential to help protect your home’s foundation from water damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Look for gutters that are sagging, leaking, or pulling away from your home. Rust, visible cracks, or water pooling near your foundation are also clear signs. In Norfolk, heavy coastal rains from the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean can accelerate gutter wear. Hurricane season and nor’easters put extra stress on aging systems, making timely replacement important for protecting your home.
Aluminum is the best material for new gutter installations in Norfolk because it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and durable. Given Norfolk’s coastal location near the Chesapeake Bay, aluminum handles the area’s high humidity and approximately 45 inches of annual rainfall exceptionally well. Its rust-resistant properties help maintain appearance even with exposure to salt air.
Most professional gutter installations in Norfolk are completed in one day. Larger homes or complex roof designs may require additional time. Factors like the number of stories and Norfolk’s coastal weather conditions can also affect the installation timeline.
LeafFilter uses Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure system to match your existing gutters or select a new color that complements your Norfolk home’s exterior. This allows for a custom color match that fits your property’s aesthetic.
Choosing the right gutter size depends on your home’s roof area and local weather patterns. In Norfolk, 6-inch gutters are often recommended because they handle heavy rainfall better than standard 5-inch gutters, especially during coastal storms and hurricane season when the area experiences intense precipitation from the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.
Yes, new gutters require regular cleaning to help prevent clogs from leaves and debris. In Norfolk, coastal humidity and seasonal storms mean gutters typically need cleaning 2-4 times yearly. Pairing new gutters with LeafFilter’s gutter guard system helps minimize debris buildup, reducing the need for frequent maintenance while helping protect your home year-round.
Yes, gutters can be installed on any roof type, including steep or complex designs. Norfolk’s diverse architecture—from historic homes in Ghent to coastal properties in Ocean View—requires customized solutions. Professional installers adapt systems to various roof pitches and styles, ensuring proper drainage during the area’s heavy coastal storms and rainfall.
Gutters help protect your home by directing rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. Norfolk experiences coastal storms and heavy rainfall throughout the year, making properly functioning gutters essential for helping prevent basement flooding, foundation damage, and soil erosion around your property.
LeafFilter offers a lifetime transferable warranty on gutter installations. This warranty covers both materials and workmanship, providing Norfolk homeowners with long-term protection for their gutter system investment.
Yes, LeafFilter removes and disposes of old gutters as part of our installation process. In Norfolk, this is especially common for homeowners dealing with gutters damaged by coastal weather, including heavy rainfall, humidity, and salt air exposure typical of the Hampton Roads area. Our locally trained installation professionals assess your existing system and safely remove worn materials before installing a custom gutter system designed to help protect your home.
