Gutter Cleaning Saint-Donat
Saint-Donat: keep your home's health record
Cars have their maintenance log. Houses almost never do. Yet the day you sell or file a claim, that's exactly what you'd want to have.
- 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 to note for the gutters
| Date | What was done | Observations |
|---|---|---|
| June | Cleaning, downspouts cleared | Maple seeds, one hanger added on the lake side |
| November | Cleaning, 2 joints redone | Pine needles, west section to watch |
| Following spring | Post-winter check | Extension moved by the snow, put back in place |
Illustrative example.
Why it's worth it
When you sell, a maintenance history reassures the buyer. If there's water damage, it shows the house was maintained. Day to day, it tells you when the next maintenance is due, and which sections keep coming back.
What we give you
After every visit, you get the before/after photos and what we observed. File them in your log, and you're done. The work itself: gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, and a roof inspection if the pitch is 7/12 or less. Near the lake, keep the water from the downspouts on a permeable surface on your lot. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Saint-Donat
We haven't verified the official text for Saint-Donat 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-Donat urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
