Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci: let's talk about access to your house
Here, many houses sit at the end of a private road, among the trees or on a hillside. For a maintenance with no surprises, a few details help us a lot.
- 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
What's useful to tell us
- The access road: private, gravel, narrow, maintained or not depending on the season.
- The ground around the house: flat, sloped, rocky, with a side facing a drop-off.
- The trees: species and distance from the roof. Conifers matter a lot.
- The buildings: house, garage, shed, shelter.
- A landmark, if the address is hard to find.
Mention it in the form. If the house isn't visible on aerial views, we'll ask you for a few photos.
Why it's important
The price depends partly on access: a ladder sets up differently on flat ground and on a rocky slope. With this information, the written price you get matches the actual work.
The work
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, roof inspection if the pitch is 7/12 or less, before/after photos. On a sloped lot, the water coming out of the downspouts must be directed so it doesn't erode the soil or come back toward the house. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci
We haven't verified the official text for Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci 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 Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
