Best Answer

Gutters play an important role in keeping water off your roof and out of your home. When gutters become clogged with leaves, animal droppings, branches or other debris, they become clogged and don't do an efficient job of clearing away rain water. Plan on regular maintenance to prevent this. However, if your gutters are broken, they will need to be replaced. You may be able to do the job yourself by purchasing new gutters from a home improvement store and researching how to go about installing them. For safety's sake, have another person around when you are performing gutter installation.
