The weather in Toronto can change quickly from heavy spring rains to icy winter storms, so the outside of your home needs to be ready for anything. The eavestrough system is one of the most important parts of your home’s defence, but it is often ignored.
We at Ontario Siding & Gutters know from experience that a properly working gutter system can mean the difference between a dry, strong home and a basement full of water. Here is all the information you need to hire professionals to clean your eavestroughs in Toronto.
What Your Eavestroughs Are Important
An eavestrough is not just a metal channel; it is a means of controlling water. Its main job is to collect rainwater and melted snow from your roof and safely carry it away from your home’s foundation. If you don’t have a good system in place, you could:
- Damage to the foundation: Water that collects at the base of your home can cause cracks and make the structure less stable.
- Flooding in the basement: The main reason water gets into lower levels is bad drainage.
- Siding and Soffit Rot: Water that spills over can damage your siding and cause the wood in your fascia and soffits to rot.
The Toronto Standard for Seamless Gutter Systems
Toronto winters are hard on regular gutters. Ice that grows can pull apart the seams of older systems, leading to leaks. That’s why we make seamless eavestroughs. These systems are made to fit your home on-site and eliminate the joints where leaks often start. This makes them look cleaner and last longer.
- We have a number of styles that will look good with the architecture of your home, such as:
- K-Style (5″ and 6″): This is the most popular option because it offers a lot of water capacity and resembles crown moulding.
- Half-round gutters are a classic choice that you can often see on Toronto’s historic and high-end homes.
- Square Gutters: A modern, industrial look for homes built today.
Why Leaf Guards Are Important
If your home is surrounded by Toronto’s beautiful old trees, your gutters are probably full of leaves and other debris. When gutters are blocked, they don’t work. We suggest installing Leaf Guards to prevent build-up, keeping water flowing freely year-round and reducing the need for dangerous ladder-climbing maintenance.
