What the work often changes
- An extension removed during the work, never put back.
- A downspout that now empties onto pavers instead of the lawn.
- A new raised flower bed that holds water against the wall.
- A patio that creates a basin where water sits.
- A gutter knocked by machinery or a ladder.
The check after the work
At the first good rain, walk around the house. Every downspout should send water toward a surface that absorbs it and carries it away from the foundation. If that's no longer the case, a hinged or swivel extension can often get around the new landscaping. The 8 types of extensions.
Our part
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos. If you're planning work, figure out from the start where the water from each downspout will go. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Saint-Gabriel
We haven't verified the official text for Saint-Gabriel 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-Gabriel urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
