What ends up in a new gutter
During construction and the first few years, gutters collect what the building site and the developing neighbourhood leave behind: shingle granules, dust, sand, scraps of material. New shingles shed a good amount of granules at first, and they build up at the bottom of the gutter like sand. Add the young trees planted in the yards, which grow fast, and maintenance becomes necessary sooner than you'd think.
What to watch in the first year
- Do the downspouts empty away from the foundation, or at the foot of the wall?
- Has the ground around the house kept its outward slope after the backfill settled?
- Is there overflowing at the corners during heavy rain?
- Have any gutter sections sagged?
A word on the bylaw
Mirabel allows, in some cases, roof water to soak into the weeping tile. On a new house, we still recommend releasing the water on the surface, onto the lawn, away from the foundation: your drain and your sump pump will thank you. Mirabel's bylaw.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Mirabel
- Water from a sloped roof may be drained by infiltration into the weeping tile, or drain onto a paved and drained surface next to the building.
- Connecting gutters to the building drain is only allowed when rainwater leaders aren't possible.
- No rainwater may be released into the City's sanitary sewer.
- The foundation drain discharge system must be fitted with backwater valves.
