How they work

What a leader head does

Flat and low-slope roofs often drain through scuppers, openings at the edge of the roof. A leader head catches that water and funnels it into the downspout, so it goes down the pipe instead of sheeting down the wall.

Because each one is made to fit, a leader head can match the downspout below it and the style of the house.

FAQ

Leader head questions

What does a leader head do?

It’s the box at the top of a downspout. It collects water from a flat roof’s scupper or a gutter outlet and feeds it into the downspout, so the water goes down the pipe instead of spilling over.

Does my house need leader heads?

Homes with flat or low-slope roofs that drain through scuppers usually do. We’ll tell you when we look at the roof.

Can you repair an old leader head?

Yes. We repair leaky or rusted leader heads when they can be saved, and replace them when they can’t. See gutter repair.

How much do custom leader heads cost?

It depends on the size and style, how many you need, and how easy they are to reach. Call, text or send the form and we’ll give you a free quote before any work starts.
