Gutter Cleaning Lac-Saguay
Lac-Saguay: remember three words. Clean, straight, away.
You don't need to know everything about gutters. Three words are enough to tell whether yours are doing their job.
- 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
Clean
The gutter and the downspout must be free of debris: leaves, needles, granules, twigs. If water overflows during the rain, it isn't clean. We empty everything by hand and clear the downspouts, elbow included.
Straight
The gutter line must be straight, with a slight slope toward the downspout. If it "smiles" in the middle, the hangers have given way. We add up to 10, and redo up to 2 joints, at no extra charge.
Away
Water must come out of the downspout away from the foundation, onto a permeable surface, never toward the neighbour or into the foundation drain. Otherwise, you need an extension. Good practices.
All three at once
One maintenance visit takes care of all three. You get the before/after photos to check: clean, straight, away.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Lac-Saguay
We haven't verified the official text for Lac-Saguay 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-Saguay urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
