About Our Eavestrough Cleaning Service
GTA homeowners deal with heavy rains, maple trees shedding leaves, and harsh freeze-thaw cycles. Clogged eavestroughs don't just overflow — they cause foundation cracks, roof leaks, ice dams, basement flooding, and pest infestations. The average basement water damage claim in Ontario exceeds $10,000.
Regular eavestrough cleaning is one of the simplest ways to protect your biggest investment. We recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year — once in late spring after the tree pollen and seeds settle, and again in late fall after leaves drop.
With nearly 30 years serving GTA homeowners, our crews know exactly what to look for. We don't just clean — we inspect your entire system and catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
Pro Tip from Our Field Crews
Schedule your fall cleaning after the majority of leaves have dropped (typically mid-to-late November in the GTA), but before the first hard freeze. This timing gives you maximum protection through winter when ice dams are the biggest threat.

Complete eavestrough cleanout — debris removed, system flushed
Why This Matters for Your Home
Understanding the importance of proper maintenance and quality workmanship.
Foundation Cracks
Overflowing water pools around your foundation and seeps into concrete, causing cracks and structural damage that costs $5,000–$15,000 to repair.
Roof Leaks & Ice Dams
Standing water backs up under shingles. In winter, this freezes and creates ice dams that force water into your attic, causing mold and rot.
Basement Flooding
Water that should flow away from your home finds its way into your basement instead. One inch of water = $10,000+ in damage.
Pest Infestations
Standing water and debris create perfect homes for mosquitoes, rodents, and nesting birds that cause further damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about eavestrough cleaning services.
QHow often should I clean my eavestroughs?
Eavestroughs generally require cleaning twice a year: once in the fall to remove leaves and debris, and again in the spring to clear any remaining debris and check for winter damage. The frequency can increase depending on the presence of nearby large trees.
QWhat is included in your eavestrough cleaning service?
Our cleaning process involves detailed hand-cleaning to remove all leaves, dirt, and buildup from the gutters. After manual removal, the entire system is flushed with water to confirm downpipes are clear. We also provide a free inspection of the roof and trough system.
QWhat are the dangers of clogged eavestroughs?
Clogged eavestroughs can lead to water seeping into your roof and entering your home, damage to exterior, windows, and doors from overflowing water, foundation damage if water pools at the base of your home, and pest infestations. The average basement water damage claim in Ontario exceeds $10,000.
QDo you offer professional cleaning for multi-storey homes?
Yes, we service homes of all heights. Our crews are working-at-heights certified and equipped with specialized safety equipment for 2-3+ storey homes. Professional cleaning is recommended at least once a year to ensure thoroughness and safety.
