There is no difference between the two, they are simply different words for the same thing. Gutters = eavestroughs. Eavestroughs = gutters.

A properly maintained gutter system should last about as long as a quality roof. If you take care of them, you can expect your gutters to last about 20-25 years.

If your existing downpipes are starting to fall away from the building, leaking at the seams, or showing signs of corrosion, that’s an indication that you should upgrade to new ones.

You should clean your gutters a minimum of once per year. You may need more frequent cleaning depending on surrounding factors such as vegetation overgrowth, rodents, and birds.
