Gutter Cleaning Saint-Jérusalem
Saint-Jérusalem: wells, leaching fields and roof water
In the countryside, the house isn't alone on the lot: there's often a well and a septic system. Roof water has to stay away from both.
- 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 areas to avoid
- The leaching field: roof water saturates it and hurts how it works. Rainwater must never be directed toward a septic system.
- The wellhead: runoff that pools around it can carry contaminants.
- The foundation, as always.
- The neighbouring lot.
How to go about it
Locate the leaching field and the well on your lot, often shown on the certificate of location or the septic system permit. Then look at where each downspout sends the water. If one points toward either of these areas, redirect it with an extension toward a grassy, open part of the lot.
Our part
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos. Mirabel tolerates, in some cases, soaking into the weeping tile, but we recommend releasing water on the surface, away from the foundation, the well and the septic system. 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.
