Sainte-Geneviève-de-Berthier: gutters in the home's calendar
A house is a list of small maintenance jobs. Gutters are one of them. Here's a reminder to fit them in at the right time, alongside the rest.
- 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 reminder
| Season | In the house | The gutters |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Check the sump pump, the basement after the melt | Check winter damage, put the extensions back |
| Early summer | Open the pool, service the air conditioner | Cleaning after the maple seeds |
| Summer | Stain the deck, look after the yard | Watch them during storms |
| Fall | Sweep the chimney, shut off the outdoor water | Big cleaning after the leaves, before the frost |
| Winter | Change the furnace filter | Watch the icicles, don't climb on the roof |
Our box in the calendar
We handle the right-hand column, up high: gutters emptied by hand, downspouts cleared, up to 2 joints and 10 hangers included, roof inspection if the pitch is 7/12 or less, before/after photos. You don't need to be home.
A tip
Book the fall maintenance at the same time as the chimney sweep: two things sorted before winter. When water comes out of the downspouts, it should move away from the house. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Sainte-Geneviève-de-Berthier
We haven't verified the official text for Sainte-Geneviève-de-Berthier 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 Sainte-Geneviève-de-Berthier urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
