Gutter Cleaning Lantier
Lantier: the four elements against your gutters
Your gutter faces four forces every year. Here's how each one works.
- 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
Water
Carrying it is the gutter's job. But when water sits behind debris, it weighs the gutter down and ends up overflowing.
Wind
It pushes leaves and needles into the gutter, even with no tree right above. It also shakes poorly fastened sections.
Earth
On the ground, the soil takes the water. If water falls at the foot of the wall, the soil gets dug out and soaked against the foundation.
Ice
In a full gutter, water freezes, melts, freezes again. Icicles grow, the hangers strain. Ice is often what makes a tired gutter give way.
The fifth element: maintenance
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos. Plus an extension so the soil gets the water in the right place. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Lantier
We haven't verified the official text for Lantier 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 Lantier urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
