Gutter Cleaning Saint-Didace
Saint-Didace: your first winter here? Let's talk gutters
If you're coming from somewhere else, another region or another country, winter here has a few surprises in store. Gutters are one of them.
- 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 surprises people
Here, it isn't just cold: it freezes and thaws often. Snow melts on the roof in the sun, water runs into the gutter, then freezes again at night. If the gutter is full of leaves, that water has nowhere to go. It forms icicles and ice dams, which can push water under the shingles.
The calendar to remember
- October–November: the trees lose their leaves.
- November: the gutters get emptied, before the frost.
- December to March: nobody goes on the roof. Keep an eye on the icicles from the ground.
- April: check for winter damage.

Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Saint-Didace
We haven't verified the official text for Saint-Didace 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-Didace urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
