Gutter Cleaning Kiamika
Kiamika: ten basic rules for your gutters
No theory, no jargon. Ten rules that cover the essentials of maintenance.
- 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 rules
- Empty the gutters before the frost, in November.
- Under maples, add a cleaning at the end of June.
- Never lean the ladder on the gutter.
- Check the downspout down to the bottom elbow: that's where clogs form.
- Don't connect the downspout to the foundation drain.
- Send the water away from the house, onto a permeable surface.
- Don't direct water onto the neighbour's lot.
- Replace loose hangers before the gutter sags.
- Don't use a pressure washer to clean gutters.
- Never climb onto a wet or icy roof.

Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Kiamika
We haven't verified the official text for Kiamika 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 Kiamika urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
