Gutter Cleaning Saint-François
Saint-François: what's under your gutters matters too
Heat pump, air conditioner, meter, outdoor outlet: lots of equipment is installed along the walls, right under the edge of the roof. An overflowing gutter soaks it with every rain.
- 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
Exposed equipment
| Equipment | The risk |
|---|---|
| Heat pump (outdoor unit) | In winter, water falling on it freezes and can block the fan or cover the coils with ice |
| Air conditioner | Debris and dirty water on the unit |
| Meter, panel, outdoor outlet | Repeated runoff onto electrical equipment |
| Gas tank or vent outlet | Icicles falling onto it |
What to check
During a rain, look to see whether water is falling onto any of this equipment. If it is, the gutter above is overflowing, or a downspout is emptying too close. In winter, icicles above the heat pump are a sign to take seriously. For the unit itself, check with your installer.
Our part
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos, paying attention to the sections above the equipment. In Laval, connecting a downspout to the foundation drain is prohibited: the water must be released onto the lot, away from the house. Laval's bylaw.
