Can you repair gutters on your own? 

We don’t recommend it.  

Certain gutter projects such as unclogging the trough can be done without assistance, but it can be dangerous to climb atop a ladder and reach inside to grab whatever materials created the clog. Additionally, bigger issues like sagging, cracking, or disconnected joints should be handled by a professional. 

If mishandled, your gutter system could be pushed out of its proper slope or improperly reinstalled, leading to water damage around your home.
