Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson: opening the cottage starts with the roof
You arrive at the cottage after the winter. Before putting the dock out, walk around the building looking up. Winter may have left its mark.
- 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 walk around the cottage, looking up
- Did a gutter come loose or sag under the weight of the ice?
- Did sections separate at the joints?
- Are the downspouts still in place down to the ground?
- Are branches broken during the winter lying on the roof?
- Were the extensions moved by the snow or the snow removal?
- Do you see water marks on the walls or under the roof overhang?
If you're not there in spring
No need to be on site. You fill out the form from home, we send you a written price, we do the work and you get the before/after photos. Handy for knowing what state the cottage is in before you even go up.
What we do
We empty the gutters by hand, clear the downspouts and redo up to 2 joints and 10 hangers, included. If the roof pitch is 7/12 or less, we also inspect the roof. Sections torn off by the ice are flagged, with photos: we don't install new gutters, but you'll know what to ask an installer for. Near the lake, keep the water from the downspouts on your lot, on a permeable surface. Good practices.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson
We haven't verified the official text for Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson 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-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
