Blocked gutters cause water to back up rather than drain away properly, and once that begins it tends to get gradually worse.
Over time, that means it eventually has the potential to overflow, which means water can run down walls or cascade onto surface below. As you've probably guessed, if that's allowed to continue, it can lead to damp or water ingress, especially through the winter months when there tends to me more rain.
Blocked gutters are also heavy gutters. The amount of water it takes to fill a complete channel of guttering is very heavy, and that puts unnecessary stress on the roofline.
