Gutter Cleaning Mandeville
Mandeville: the big day, with 5 minutes of prep
You've booked. Good news: there's almost nothing to prepare. Here's the short list, so everything goes smoothly even when you're not there.
- 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
The day before
- Move the vehicles at least 15 ft from the house.
- Close the windows, especially those under the roof edge.
- Leave the outdoor faucet accessible: we use it to check the downspouts' flow.
- Unlock the yard gate, if there is one, and remember to keep your pets inside.
- Put away anything lying at the foot of the walls: patio furniture, pots, bikes.
On the day
Nothing. You don't need to be home. We empty the gutters by hand, clear the downspouts, redo up to 2 joints and add up to 10 hangers, included. If the roof pitch is 7/12 or less, we inspect it. We pick up the debris before leaving.
The day after
You get the before/after photos and our observations. If a downspout empties too close to the house, we'll point it out, and we can add an extension. Where the water should go.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Mandeville
We haven't verified the official text for Mandeville 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 Mandeville urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
