The route
- Stop 1, the front. Step back to the sidewalk. Is the gutter line straight? A dip in the middle points to a loose hanger or a load of debris.
- Stop 2, the first corner. Corners concentrate water. Marks on the siding, right below? The joint may be leaking.
- Stop 3, the downspout. Follow it to the ground. Where does the water come out? If it's at the foot of the wall, an extension is missing.
- Stop 4, the flower bed. A dug-out line of soil under the roof edge means regular overflowing.
- Stop 5, the back. That's often where the trees are closest. Do you see leaves or plants sticking out of the gutter?
- Stop 6, the basement. The tour ends inside: a damp smell, marks at the bottom of the walls?
On the way out
If you noticed something at any of the stops, we'll take it from there: gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos. Mention your observations in the form, and we'll look at those points first. Where the water should go.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Berthierville
We haven't verified the official text for Berthierville 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 Berthierville urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
