Gutter Cleaning Val-Morin
Val-Morin: do your gutters have symptoms? Here is the diagnosis
A gutter that's stopped working almost always shows signs before the damage. The trick is knowing how to read them.
- 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 symptom chart
| You see… | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Thick icicles along the roof | Full gutter, water freezes in place | Clean before winter |
| A dug-out line of soil under the gutter | Regular overflowing | Clean, check the slope |
| Stains or moss on the siding | Water running behind the gutter | Check the hangers and the flashing |
| A gutter that "smiles" | Loose hangers, weight of debris | Add hangers |
| Water in the basement after rain | Downspout too close to the foundation | Add an extension |
| Plants growing in the gutter | Debris built up for a long time | Complete cleaning, consider gutter guards |
The treatment
Cleaning by hand takes care of most of these symptoms. We also clear the downspouts, and redo up to 2 joints and 10 hangers for the same price. If the roof has a pitch of 7/12 or less, we inspect it and tell you what we see. You get the before/after photos.
The rule in Val-Morin
Construction bylaw 742 requires roof water to be directed onto the lot so that it flows away from the building and doesn't pool near the foundation. It must not bother the neighbours or be sent toward the public road. A permeable surface, landscaping or a rain barrel all work. The exact text.
