If you live under Hill Country live oaks, cedars, or pecans, you already know how hard your gutters work. Oaks drop leaves and pollen tassels in the spring, cedars shed fine debris all year, and pecans drop leaves, twigs, and husks in the fall. Waterlok is the stainless steel micromesh gutter guard installed by Lessard’s Rain Gutters. It’s made to keep that debris out of your gutters and let the rain through.
Waterlok is a gutter guard made of stainless steel micromesh, a fine screen that covers the top of your gutter. Rain runs through the mesh into the gutter and out the downspouts. Leaves, cedar debris, oak tassels, and twigs are kept out of the gutter instead of packing down into it. We chose stainless steel because it holds up outdoors and won’t rust like ordinary steel.
Waterlok is our upgraded micromesh guard. It has an aluminum backing that helps break up water adhesion, and it’s stronger than the standard micromesh guards we offer. Every Waterlok system is backed by a 20-year Waterlok warranty.
Clogged gutters overflow. When water spills over the edge, it can stain siding, wash out landscaping, and pool around your foundation. Keeping the gutter open lets your system do what it was built to do and carry water away from your home.
Most homes in New Braunfels, San Antonio, and the Hill Country have big trees near the roofline, and those trees are what clog gutters. Fine debris like cedar and oak tassels is the hardest to keep out. That’s the problem a micromesh screen is designed for.
Climbing a ladder several times a year to scoop out wet leaves is no fun, and it’s not safe. Waterlok greatly reduces how much gutter maintenance you’ll have.
If your gutters are due for replacement, we can form new seamless gutters on site and add Waterlok in the same project, so you get one crew and one visit.
Lessard’s Rain Gutters offers leaf protection for every budget, and Waterlok is our top tier. It’s an upgrade from our LeafBlaster micro-mesh, with an aluminum backing and a stronger build.

Plenty of gutter companies promise 10-year or even lifetime warranties. But a warranty only helps if the company is still in business when you need it. The gutter industry has a high failure rate. Many companies don’t make it, especially in gutters, where lower margins can lead to higher turnover. By broad industry estimates, shown for general comparison, 60% of gutter companies fail within 5 years, 75% fail within 10 years, and 85% are gone by 15 years. Lessard’s Rain Gutters is the exception. We’re a family-run company that has served Texas homeowners since 1979, and when we back your Waterlok guards with a 20-year Waterlok warranty, we plan to be here to honor it.

Yes. Waterlok is built for Hill Country trees. The fine stainless steel mesh is designed to keep oak leaves and tassels, cedar debris, and pecan leaves and twigs out of your gutters.
Waterlok comes in a few versions, and we choose the one that fits your roof. Most of the time, it fits into the gutter and tucks just under the edge of the shingles without lifting them. It isn’t nailed up under the shingles. Our own in-house crews do the installation.
It depends on the condition of your gutters. During a free on-site estimate, we’ll check your gutters and tell you whether they’re ready for Waterlok or due for new seamless gutters, which we form on site.
Because a warranty only helps if the company is still around to honor it. Many gutter companies offer 10-year or lifetime warranties, but the gutter industry has a high failure rate. By broad industry estimates, shown for general comparison, 60% of gutter companies fail within 5 years, 75% fail within 10 years, and 85% are gone by 15 years. Lessard’s Rain Gutters has been in business since 1979. Before you compare warranties, ask how long the company has been around.
