Gutter Cleaning Arundel
Arundel: the old sayings had gutters all figured out
Our grandparents didn't have websites, but they had sayings. And they apply surprisingly well to gutters.
- Complete maintenance: roof blown off, gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared
- Included at no charge: fasteners, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers
- Proof: before/after photos and report
- Quote: online, no visit
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
One maintenance visit a year costs less than repairing a foundation or drying out a basement.
"Little by little, the bird builds its nest"
And the gutter clogs up. A few leaves a week, and by November it's a dam. Sometimes it's literally a nest, near the downspout.
"Never put off till tomorrow…"
…what you can do before the frost. Once the debris is locked in ice, you have to wait for spring.
"To each their own trade"
The house is yours, the ladder is ours. Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos.
"After the rain comes the sunshine"
As long as the rainwater went to the right place: onto the lot, away from the house, never into the foundation drain. Extensions. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Arundel
We haven't verified the official text for Arundel yet. Here are the rules found in the vast majority of municipalities in the Laurentians and Lanaudière:
- Never connect a downspout to the foundation drain (weeping tile) or to the sewer: it is prohibited in most municipalities in Quebec.
- Release the water on the surface, onto a permeable area (lawn, flower bed), away from the foundation. Required distances generally range from 1 m to 2 m, and 1.5 m is the most common.
- Don't direct water toward the street, the driveway, the sidewalk or the neighbouring lot (Civil Code of Québec, art. 983).
Before any work, confirm the rule with the Arundel urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
