Here’s why cleaning is still needed: • Debris buildup on top of the guards: Debris can pile up on the guards, blocking water flow into the gutters. • Clogged downspouts: Small particles that pass through the guards can accumulate and clog the downspouts. • Maintenance checks: Gutter guards can loosen or shift over time, so regular inspections help ensure they continue to function properly.
