Eaves Trough Cleaning in Campbellford, ON
Water where it belongs.
On a low-lying lot near the Trent, water from a blocked eaves trough has nowhere good to go. It spills over the front edge and soaks the ground right along the foundation. We do eaves trough cleaning in Campbellford in late spring and late fall. Each trough is cleared by hand and each downspout is flushed, and Pedro flags any loose brackets or sagging runs while he's up there.
Keeping Roof Water Off Low-Lying Campbellford Foundations
Water already lingers on riverside and low-lying lots more than it does on higher ground. When an eaves trough overflows, it drops roof water in a line along the foundation, and on wet soil it has little chance to drain off. That's how basements start to smell damp, and it's why the fall cleaning matters so much on these lots.
If your farmhouse has a porch roof or an addition, it probably has its own short runs of trough, and every corner and joint is a place for leaves and shingle grit to pack in. We clean every run, including the short ones over the porch, and flush each downspout to confirm water runs freely. We also check that every section is still fastened tight to the fascia.
Gutter cleaning twice a year keeps most homes across Trent Hills out of trouble: late spring after the seeds come down, and late fall once the leaves have dropped. Clear troughs going into winter help prevent ice dams. Expect $125 to $200 for a single-storey house. Two storeys run $175 to $300, with roof size and the number of downspouts deciding where you land. We can book your spring and fall visits at the same time.

How eaves trough cleaning works
Clear debris
We take every leaf, twig, bit of shingle grit and packed-in dirt out of the whole eaves trough system, by hand and with a scoop.
Flush downspouts
Each downspout gets flushed with a hose so we know it's clear.
Check for problems
We look for sagging sections, loose brackets, leaky joints, and spots where the trough has pulled away from the fascia.
Ground cleanup
All the debris is bagged and taken away. You won't find piles of gutter muck on your lawn after we leave.

Eaves Trough Cleaning in Campbellford: FAQ
Do you offer eaves trough cleaning in Campbellford?

Water still pools beside our foundation after the eaves troughs are cleaned. What else should we check?
Look at where each downspout lets out. If it empties right at the wall, the water soaks straight back toward the basement, which is a bigger problem on low ground near the river. An extension that carries the water a few feet away from the house helps a lot. While we're flushing the downspouts, we'll point out any that are dumping water in the wrong place.
How late in the fall can you still clean eaves troughs out here in Trent Hills?
Right up until things freeze. We like to wait until most of the leaves are down, since cleaning too early means the troughs fill again. Once wet debris freezes solid in the trough, it can't be cleared properly, and that's when ice dams start. It's worth booking early in the season so you're on the schedule before the cold sets in.
