Gutter Cleaning Montreal

In certain situations, covering your gutters with gutter guards can be a great decision. It is important to understand that installing gutter guards does not mean you can forget about cleaning the gutters. Debris can still settle on top of the guards, eventually preventing water from entering the gutter. Over time the debris will break down and make its way beneath the guards. Gutter guards are best installed on houses surrounded by tall trees. They are meant to prevent clogs and reduce the frequency of requiring a cleaning service like us. If your gutters get clogged multiple times per year you should seriously consider installing gutter guards. Ultimately, keeping a well-maintained gutter system is the best way to keep your house safe from heavy rain damaging your foundation.

The purpose of a downspout is to direct the water that flows through the gutters down to the ground and away from the foundation. We often see issues with these on a property such as clogs, leaks, and not bringing the water far enough away from the foundation. On all of our gutter cleaning jobs, we check their performance and assess if there are any issues. We inform you on any flaws and offer an effective solution, sometimes as simple as a minor adjustment or replacing broken pieces.

At every corner of your roof, your gutters have a seam that becomes water-tight with a sealant. Being exposed to the elements, this sealant will deteriorate over time. Old sealant is by far the most common cause of leaking gutters (aside from the gutters being clogged with debris of course). From choosing the correct sealant to properly applying it, rest assured that your gutters are fully functioning and are not leaking.
