The rules
- If trees hang over the roof, then plan two cleanings a year.
- If they're conifers, then think about the Gutter Clean Pro, warrantied even with needles.
- If water overflows during the rain, then the gutter or the downspout is clogged.
- If the gutter sags, then it's missing hangers.
- If the downspout empties at the foot of the wall, then you need an extension.
- If a downspout goes into the ground, then have someone check where it leads.
- If the house has a second storey, then leave the ladder to the professionals.
- If you're not home on the day of the work, then that's not a problem.
And if you call us…
…then we empty the gutters by hand, clear the downspouts, redo up to 2 joints and 10 hangers, included, and you get the before/after photos. Where the water should go.
Municipal bylaws
Gutters: what the bylaw says in Wentworth
We haven't verified the official text for Wentworth 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 Wentworth urban planning department. During our inspection, we flag any downspout connected to the drain or emptying too close to the foundation.
