Avoiding cleaning your gutters can damage not only your gutters and downspouts but also your roof and exterior of your home. Debris buildup in gutters can result in moisture not properly draining. Without a place to go, water and debris can start to eat away at your surrounding roof shingles, attic, insulation, and walls.

You have several other options when choosing gutters beyond faux copper made from vinyl, aluminum, or galvanized steel. You can also install real copper gutters, zinc gutters, wooden gutters, or vinyl, aluminum, or steel gutters that don't mimic the appearance of faux copper. Some homeowners prefer to forgo gutters entirely and instead opt for gutter alternatives like rain chains, box gutters, rain dispersal systems, or French drains.

• Debris built up in the gutters

A heated gutter system can help prevent ice formation and save you money in water damage from leaks and other repairs. The cost to install heated gutters runs between $500 and $1,300, depending on your home’s size. Heated gutters are worth it if you live in areas with harsh winters with a lot of snow and ice, and you also have several tall trees near your home that drop a lot of debris.
