Gutter Cleaning Chute-Saint-Philippe
Chute-Saint-Philippe: your gutters' summer review
A summer of storms is the best test for gutters. Before the fall, take stock of what it revealed.
- 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
The questions to ask
- Where did water overflow during the big storms? Note the corners and sections.
- Was the basement damp after a heavy rain?
- Did the flower bed under the roof edge get dug out?
- Are the extensions still in place after mowing and yard work?
- Have branches grown over the roof?
What your answers mean
Overflowing in a single spot often points to a clogged downspout or a loose hanger. Overflowing all over means the gutters are full. Dampness in the basement, with a downspout emptying near the wall, calls for an extension. Mention your observations in the form: we'll look at those points first.
The fall maintenance
After the leaves fall, before the frost. Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos. Where the water should go.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Chute-Saint-Philippe
We haven't verified the official text for Chute-Saint-Philippe 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 Chute-Saint-Philippe urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
