Gutter Cleaning Saint-Michel-des-Saints
Saint-Michel-des-Saints: the forest tells you when to call
No need for a calendar. The trees around the house give the signal, as long as you know how to read 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
The signals, season by season
- The maples have finished dropping their seeds (early summer): first cleaning, before the storms.
- The birches and aspens turn yellow: don't clean yet, the leaf drop is just starting.
- The branches are almost bare: it's time for the big fall cleaning.
- The ground freezes in the morning: there's little time left before the debris freezes in the gutter.
- Conifers give no signal: their needles fall all year. If you have a lot of them, a Gutter Clean Pro is the lasting solution.
When you're not on site
If the house or cottage is empty part of the year, you won't see these signals. Just book for the end of the fall. No need to be there: you get the price in writing, then the before/after photos.
At every visit
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, roof inspection if the pitch is 7/12 or less. Near lakes and rivers, keep roof water on your lot, on a permeable surface. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Saint-Michel-des-Saints
We haven't verified the official text for Saint-Michel-des-Saints 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-Michel-des-Saints urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
