Gutter Cleaning Mont-Blanc
Mont-Blanc: where should your gutter water go? To a rain garden
The Municipality points it out in its erosion information sheet: the water from your gutters should go to a dry well or a rain garden. Here's what that looks like.
- 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

What the Municipality says
According to Mont-Blanc's "Erosion and regulations" sheet, which refers to zoning bylaw 194-2011 (art. 189), water running across your lot must flow toward the storm sewer, a ditch, a dry well or a rain garden. Gutter water must also go to a dry well or a rain garden. The goal: protect the lakes and rivers from erosion. The source.
The rain garden, in short
- A shallow dip in the ground, planted with plants that don't mind wet feet for a few hours.
- Placed a good distance from the foundation, so the water doesn't come back toward the house.
- Fed by the downspout, through an extension or a channel.
- It absorbs the water in a few hours instead of letting it run toward the street or the lake.
For the design, a landscaper or your watershed organization's resources can guide you.
Why clean gutters matter
A rain garden that gets leaves and shingle granules with every downpour clogs up. Clean gutters send clearer water. We empty the gutters by hand, clear the downspouts, redo up to 2 joints and 10 hangers, included, and can add an extension to carry the water to the right spot.
