Gutter Cleaning Rawdon
Rawdon: the questions people don't always dare to ask
Before letting someone climb onto your house, you have fair questions. Here are our answers, straight up.
- 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
Why not just do it myself?
It's possible on a low house that's easy to reach, if you're comfortable on a ladder. On a two-storey house, a sloped lot or a steep roof, like many in Rawdon, the risk of a fall becomes real. And a do-it-yourself cleaning often misses clogged downspouts, cracked joints and loose fasteners.
What if you damage something?
Gouttière Propre holds $2M in liability insurance. Cleaning is done by hand, with no abrasive tools. The before/after photos document the condition of your gutters, before and after our visit.
How much does it really cost?
The price depends on the length of the gutters, the height and the access. We give it to you before doing anything, through the online quote. Common small repairs are included: up to 10 hangers and 2 joints. Nothing else is added without your approval.
Why don't you climb on my roof to inspect it?
If the pitch is over 7/12, we don't do the roof inspection. The technician's safety comes first. We still clean the gutters, and we say so clearly in the report.
Are you going to try to sell me new gutters?
No: we don't install them. If yours are at the end of their life, we'll tell you straight, and that's it.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Rawdon
We haven't verified the official text for Rawdon 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 Rawdon urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
