The four sides
| Side | What happens there | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| North | Little sun, debris stays damp | Moss, packed debris, ice that lingers in spring |
| South | Full sun, snow melts by day and refreezes at night | Icicles, ice dams, repeated freeze-thaw |
| West | Often exposed to prevailing winds | Leaves blown into the gutter, hangers under strain |
| East | Morning sun, dries faster | Usually the quietest side |
What it changes for maintenance
We don't treat every gutter the same way. On the north side, we check the joints and remove packed debris. On the south side, we make sure meltwater can drain. On the west side, we check the hangers. Up to 2 joints and 10 hangers are included, and you get photos of every side.
And on the ground
The north side dries slowly: a downspout that empties at the foot of the wall keeps the soil damp there for a long time. An extension is even more useful on that side. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Sainte-Marcelline-de-Kildare
We haven't verified the official text for Sainte-Marcelline-de-Kildare 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-Marcelline-de-Kildare urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
