Gutter Cleaning Lac-du-Cerf
Lac-du-Cerf: this is your annual reminder
Like the dentist's card on the fridge: nothing urgent, but it's time.

- Included at no charge: fasteners, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers
- Proof: before/after photos and report
- Quote: online, no visit
Your appointment
- What: gutter and downspout maintenance.
- When: November, after the leaves and before the frost. Add late June if maples are near the roof.
- Time on your end: five minutes of form.
- Presence required: none.
Why you don't skip a year
One year without maintenance, and the debris packs down. Two years, and plants start growing and the hangers strain. As with teeth, small regular upkeep avoids the big intervention.
What's in the appointment
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, roof inspection if the pitch is 7/12 or less, before/after photos. Near the lakes, roof water must stay on your lot, on a permeable surface. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Lac-du-Cerf
We haven't verified the official text for Lac-du-Cerf 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 Lac-du-Cerf urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
