Val-David: listen to your gutters in the rain
In Val-David, people are used to taking the time to look and listen. Next time it pours, step out onto the porch. Your gutters will tell you how they're doing.

What the sounds mean
- A steady flow in the downspout: all is well.
- A drip in the middle of a gutter: a leaking joint or a section that has sagged.
- The sound of water falling like a curtain: the gutter is overflowing. It's clogged or its slope is wrong.
- Complete silence in the downspout despite a good rain: it's blocked, often in the bottom elbow.
- Splashing at the foot of the wall: the downspout empties too close to the foundation.
What the Municipality says
Val-David's bylaw 747 is clear: roof water carried by a gutter and a downspout must be released on the surface, at least 150 cm from the building, without seeping toward the underground drain. For new construction, the construction bylaw also asks that gutter water be directed toward a planted area or a rain barrel. The exact texts.
What we do when we come
We empty the gutters by hand, clear the downspouts and redo up to 2 joints and 10 hangers at no extra charge. We pick everything up and send you the photos. Under the village's big trees, two visits a year is often the right rhythm. With conifers, a Gutter Clean Pro spaces out maintenance a lot.
