- 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

The three levels
| Minimum | Recommended | Ideal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | Once a year (November) | Twice under trees | Gutter guard + a check every 2 to 3 years |
| Extensions | The missing ones | One on every downspout | Swivel extensions where they get in the way |
| For whom | Open lot | Hardwoods near the roof | Conifers, wooded lot |
In every case
Gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, before/after photos. Gutter guards are priced per linear foot: $7.50 for the Gutter Clean System (25-year warranty), $9.60 for the Gutter Clean Pro (lifetime warranty, conifers included). Where the water should go.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Saint-Thomas
We haven't verified the official text for Saint-Thomas 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-Thomas urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
