Eaves Trough Cleaning in Coboconk, ON
Water where it belongs.
If your cottage has trees close to the roof, the eaves troughs fill with needles, leaves and seed pods every season. Eaves trough cleaning in Coboconk fits best as part of fall closing, so the troughs are clear before the cottage sits empty all winter. Every trough is cleaned out by hand, every downspout gets flushed, and we report anything that's sagging or pulling away.
Clear Eaves Troughs Before the Cottage Closes
Closing time is when this job counts. When a cottage is shut up, nobody sees an overflowing trough during a November rain or a winter thaw. Water spills over the front, soaks the fascia and lands next to the foundation or on the deck. If it freezes at the roof edge, ice can back up under the shingles and leak into the ceiling, and you won't find the stain until spring.
If there are pines nearby, the needles are a particular nuisance. They mat into a dense layer that holds water, and they slip into downspouts and pack the elbows. Downspout cleaning is part of every visit: we pull the needles out by hand, then flush each downspout to confirm it runs clear. Packed elbows are the usual reason a downspout backs up and spills at the top even when the trough looks clean.
Since the drive up is a long one for us, the gutters are best booked alongside other closing tasks. Eavestrough cleaning runs $125 to $200 for a single-storey cottage and $175 to $300 for two storeys. Roof size and the number of downspouts decide where it falls. If you'd like, we can do a second cleaning when you open up in spring.

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 Coboconk: FAQ
Do you offer eaves trough cleaning in Coboconk?

Our eaves troughs empty right onto the deck. Should that be changed?
It's worth changing. Water dumping onto the deck keeps those boards wet, which speeds up rot and mildew on that section. Usually the answer is moving or extending the downspout so it carries water past the deck and away from the foundation. We'll flag it during the cleaning and talk through what would work for your layout.
Do eaves troughs under a metal cottage roof still need cleaning?
Yes. A metal roof sheds snow and water quickly, but the troughs still collect leaves and needles from nearby trees, and a clogged trough under a fast-draining roof overflows quickly in a heavy rain. Snow sliding off metal can also bend troughs and loosen brackets, so we check the alignment while we clean.
