Considering it's on the exterior of your home, your seamless gutters and downspouts require maintenance and cleaning if trees are in close proximity.
You may hear different sources tell you that you need to clean your gutters and downspouts at least two times a year. Some will tell you three; others four. While we don't disagree with keeping your gutters and downspouts clean, we do have different opinions with the frequency.
Uncovered gutters need to be cleaned everyday! Yes everyday… at least before it rains and sometimes while it’s raining.

The point we are trying to make is that in order to keep your gutters flowing and not overflowing, you need to have some type of gutter guard cover installed to keep the leaves out of your gutters. It takes only one leaf to cover the hole leading to your downspout and cause your gutters to overflow. You could clean out all of your gutters today and tonight while your in bed, a couple of leaves fall in the gutter… just before you wake up a rain storm rolls through and your gutters are running over because a couple of leaves plugged off the hole to the downspout.
