Gutter Cleaning Saint-Côme
Saint-Côme: one visit a year, or two? The debate
We'll give you both sides, honestly. You decide based on your house.
- 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 "one visit is enough" side
- The lot is open, with no tree over the roof.
- The house is recent and the gutters are in good shape.
- A gutter guard is already installed.
- The fall visit, after the leaves, takes care of the essentials.
The "you need two" side
- Maples hang over the roof: June's maple seeds clog the gutters before the summer storms.
- Conifers drop needles all year.
- The gutters already overflowed last summer.
- The house is in the woods, like many properties in Saint-Côme.
Our verdict
Look above your roof. No trees: one visit, in November. Trees: two visits, late June and November. Lots of conifers: think about the Gutter Clean Pro, which brings maintenance down to a check every 2 to 3 years. The first photo report will help you decide what comes next.
At every visit
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos. Where the water should go.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Saint-Côme
We haven't verified the official text for Saint-Côme 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 Saint-Côme urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
