TIL my gutters were clogged for 2 years and my new leaf guards paid for themselves in one storm

Moved into a house in Decatur back in 2021 and never checked the gutters. Thought the water stains on the siding were just old paint. Last March we had that big rainstorm and I heard water dripping INSIDE the wall near the bedroom. Crawled up there and found 4 inches of packed leaves and pine needles. Water was overflowing behind the fascia. Paid $180 for a cleanup and then put on some cheap mesh guards from Home Depot for $220 total. Last week we had 3 inches of rain in one night and not a single drip. Anyone else ignore their gutters until something bad happened? What did you do after?
