Roof water goes onto the lot, away from the house. Never into the foundation drain, never onto the neighbour's. Details.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Harrington
We haven't verified the official text for Harrington 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 Harrington urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
