Level 1: beginner
What to know: your gutters need to be emptied once or twice a year, and the water has to come out away from the house. That's all.
What to do: during a rain, watch whether water spills over the gutter. If it does, request a quote.
Level 2: intermediate
What to know: the problem isn't always in the gutter. Often it's the downspout, clogged in the bottom elbow, or the slope, which has sagged over the years.
What to do: check that every downspout flows freely and that the gutter doesn't dip anywhere. On Pont-Viau plexes, long gutters with few downspouts are common: an extra downspout can change everything.
Level 3: expert
What to know: in Laval, the construction bylaw prohibits connecting a downspout to the foundation drain and requires water to drain onto a permeable surface. The discharge bylaw asks for 1.5 m from the building. The fascia behind a leaking gutter rots quietly.
What to do: check the joints at the connections, the condition of the fascia and the discharge distance of each downspout. That's exactly what our complete maintenance covers, with a photo report.
