Gutter Cleaning Saint-Damien
Saint-Damien: in summer, your backyard deserves clean gutters
In summer, life happens outside: on the patio, around the pool. Often right under a gutter.
- 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 happens when it overflows
- Above the patio: a curtain of dirty water on the furniture and the guests with every downpour.
- Near the pool: debris and water loaded with shingle granules ending up in the water.
- On the pavers: stains, moss between the stones, and slippery surfaces.
- On the wooden deck: wood that stays wet and ages faster.
Where to send the water
Not toward the pool, not onto the patio, not toward the house. The downspout should set the water down on a surface that can absorb it: lawn, flower bed. A swivel extension turns out of the way when needed, then goes back in place. The 8 types of extensions. Good practices.
The right time
Before opening the pool, in spring, and after the leaves fall, in autumn. We empty the gutters by hand, clear the downspouts, redo up to 2 joints and 10 hangers, included, and pick up the debris. Remember to keep the pool cover on if we come before the opening.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Saint-Damien
We haven't verified the official text for Saint-Damien 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-Damien urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
