Clogged downspouts can back up water onto your rooftop, causing leaks & debris to back up along valleys. Loose & rotting fascia can let your gutters come loose in a rainstorm or heavy wind & come crashing down. Years of accumulated debris can weigh down a gutter, allowing water to come sheeting over the top during the rainy season.

If doing it yourself, make sure you clean those rain gutters on your home the right way – first of all, by donning a nice work shirt, with some long sleeves, in addition to the proper rubber gloves made for the job. Do not pick anything up with your bare hands. Not only is doing so unsanitary, but you may collect certain elements that may, at later times, be hard to remove or deodorize – keep your hands clean & protected.
Next, get an extendable ladder right under where the gutters are at, preferable one with standoff stabilizers or ladder horns. This will both protect you from falling & also prevent damage to the gutters. Remove any gunk out of the way with a plastic scoop – a small one will usually do. A sand castle shovel, which children are often notorious for having, can work for this as well, & it costs about $25 or less at the local store.
Have a plastic tarp handy, where you'll place the gunk & other junk. Do not throw it down right onto your lawn. Spare your lawn of it. When all muck is clear, flush out those gutters/downspouts by means of a garden hose.
