Why does a gutter pull away from the house?
Usually because the hangers have loosened in the fascia or the gutter has been overloaded with debris, ice or standing water.

Quick answers
Is rotted trim a sign of a bigger problem?
It can be. Rotted trim is replaced and the wood behind it is checked; soft sheathing or framing is a larger repair that is scoped before work continues.
Can gutters be cleaned from a ladder safely?
Yes, with the ladder footed on level ground and moved often instead of overreaching. Steep or high roofs are quoted separately.
