Not having gutter covers makes no sense. It is an inexpensive way of protecting the stability of your house. Left unchecked, corrosion and rotting will start to occur and the damage will be so advanced that replacing gutter might be required or maybe even fixing walls and roof.
I always recommend getting gutter guards no matter how expensive or innovative you think your current drainage is. Gutter guards will prolong the live of your gutters and it will protect your biggest investment in bad weather.
Check your home gutters today. Is there some leaves or other debris in there? If the answer is yes, it is time to schedule an appointment with a gutter installation specialist, you should see that installing gutters seems economical relative to potential expenses due to poor planning. Ask for advantages and disadvantages of different materials and choose the one that fits better your house.
Oh, gutter guards do their job effectively. These prevent leaves from falling into the gutter and make cleaning the gutters an easier task. It's heaven sent, indeed! LOL!

It’s definitely important to keep the gutters clean! The main purpose of having gutters is to keep rain and snow away from the house, but if the gutters are clogged, then that would defeat the purpose. Once every two weeks during normal weather should do the trick, but if inclement weather is on the horizon, then maintenance should be a little more frequent, just to be sure. Besides, it’s not just debris from trees that can get into gutters. Small animals can get stuck in the gutters as well! This is why the gutters should be cleaned out regularly.

"Leaves, seeds, twigs and debris can easily fall into a home's drain system creating a nightmare." - My sentiments exactly. Once these things start rotting on your gutters, or worse, on your downspouts, your endless nightmares of repetitively scrubbing, cleaning, or total gutter replacement begin! It is, indeed, better to get them gutter guards. These may cost extra at first, but saves you dollars in the long run, which is good investment.
