Gutter Cleaning Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides
Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides: what about the porch gutters?
People think about the main roof. But the covered porch, the carport or the deck roof have gutters too, and they're often the most neglected.
- 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
Why these small roofs cause problems
- They get the water from the big roof on top of their own, when the main roof drains onto them.
- They're low and under the trees, so they fill with leaves and needles.
- Their downspouts often empty onto the stairs or the walkway, right where people walk.
- The low pitch of these roofs lets debris build up.
The consequences
A porch gutter that overflows soaks the steps, which become slippery and icy in winter. The porch wood stays damp and ages faster. And a carport that drains onto the driveway creates a patch of ice right where you park.

Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides
We haven't verified the official text for Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides 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-Lucie-des-Laurentides urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
