A forest above the roof
On Lorraine's streets, the trees have often grown taller than the houses. Their branches hang over the roofs. The result: leaves don't just fall into the gutter in autumn, they also pile up on the roof and wash down with every rain.
That's why our maintenance starts by blowing off the roof: cleaning a gutter without clearing the roof means finding it full again at the next downpour.
The two possible approaches
Two cleanings a year
In spring after the maple seeds, in fall after the leaves. It's simple, effective, and you get a photo check-up each time.
Alu-Rex gutter guards
Under a tree canopy this dense, it's often the most cost-effective investment: maintenance only every 2 to 3 years. Hardwoods only: Gutter Clean System. With conifers: Gutter Clean Pro, with a lifetime warranty.
Respect for your yard
Under the big trees, flower beds are often carefully kept. We pay attention to where we set the ladder, and we pick up the debris that fell on the ground before leaving.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Lorraine
We haven't verified the official text for Lorraine 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 Lorraine urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
