Gutter Cleaning Bois-des-Filion
Bois-des-Filion: behind the scenes of a visit
You're at work. Meanwhile, at your place, a technician is taking care of your gutters. Here's what that visit looks like, from start to finish.
- 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
On arrival
The technician parks in the spot you left free and walks all the way around the house. He spots sagging sections, corners that overflow and the best resting points for the ladder. Then he takes the first photos: the "before" condition.
Up high
If leaves are lying on the roof, he blows them off first. Then he empties the gutter by hand, section by section, all the way to the downspout outlets. Every downspout is checked. If a clog is stuck in an elbow, he takes the downspout apart and puts it back together.
When needed, a hose rinse (hence the outdoor faucet) confirms that the water flows all the way down.
The small repairs
With the gutter empty, you can finally see its real condition. The technician taps loose nails back in, adds screwed-in hangers where it sags (up to 10, at no charge) and redoes cracked joints (up to 2, at no charge). If the roof pitch is 7/12 or less, he also inspects the roof, the chimney and the flashing.
Before leaving
He picks up the debris that fell around the house and takes the "after" photos. That evening, you get your invoice with the photos and the report: what was found, what was done, what we recommend. See the 12 steps in detail.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Bois-des-Filion
We haven't verified the official text for Bois-des-Filion 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 Bois-des-Filion urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
