Gutter Cleaning Saint-Vincent-de-Paul
Saint-Vincent-de-Paul: 5 kinds of damage you won't have
Gutter maintenance doesn't show when it's done well. What shows is the damage when it isn't. Here's what it helps you avoid.
- 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
1. Water in the basement
Water that overflows or comes out at the foot of the wall saturates the soil against the foundation. Eventually it finds a crack. That's why Laval requires roof water to be released away from the building.
2. Rotten fascia
A leaking joint or an overflowing gutter soaks the fascia board with every rain. It softens, then can no longer hold the hangers. We redo up to 2 joints at no charge before it gets to that point.
3. The gutter torn off
Full of wet debris, then ice, a gutter can get very heavy. If the fasteners are weak, it comes loose. We add up to 10 screwed-in hangers to prevent that.
4. The skating rink at the front door
A gutter overflowing above the entrance, or a downspout emptying onto the walkway, creates ice at every thaw. That's a fall risk for you and your visitors.
5. Ice dams
A clogged gutter turns into a block of ice that holds meltwater back at the edge of the roof. The water backs up under the shingles. The main cause is often the attic, but an empty gutter limits the damage. Understanding ice dams.
Bonus: the photo report from each visit documents the upkeep of your property, which is useful if you ever file a claim.
