Eaves Trough Cleaning in Omemee, ON
Water where it belongs.
An eaves trough packed with leaves can't move water, so it spills over against the fascia and drops beside the foundation. We do eaves trough cleaning in Omemee for houses in the village and on the rural roads around it. Pedro clears the troughs by hand, flushes every downspout, checks for sagging runs and loose brackets, and bags the debris so none of it lands on your lawn.
Fall Gutter Work Before an Omemee Winter
The late-fall cleaning matters most. If the troughs go into winter full of wet leaves, meltwater has nowhere to go during a thaw, and it refreezes at the edge of the roof. That's how ice dams start, and they can push water up under the shingles. A single overflow can also stain siding and wash soil away from the foundation. We like to book Omemee jobs once most of the leaves are down so the troughs stay clear into the cold months.
Rural lots in Emily Township bring their own mix. If you have trees along a fence line or a windbreak near the house, expect leaves, needles and seeds in the troughs by October. And if a downspout empties onto flat ground right beside the foundation, that water ends up against the basement wall. While we're up the ladder, we'll point out downspouts that need an extension or a better place to drain.
Pricing is simple. A single-storey home usually runs $125 to $200, and two-storey houses are $175 to $300 depending on roof size and how many downspouts there are. We recommend a late-spring visit too, once the seeds have come down. Minor fixes like resealing a leaky joint or refastening a sagging section can usually be handled the same day.

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 Omemee: FAQ
Do you offer eaves trough cleaning in Omemee?
Yes. Omemee is part of our Kawartha Lakes service area, and we work there from our base in Bowmanville. Call or text (289) 928-5689, or request a free estimate online.
Water spills over one corner of my eaves trough even right after it's been cleaned. Why?
Usually one of two things. The trough may have lost its slope toward the downspout because a bracket loosened, so water collects at a low spot and overflows. Or the downspout is partly blocked lower down, often at an elbow. We check both. Refastening the run to the right pitch or clearing the elbow tends to solve it.
The last leaves came down late this year. Is it OK to leave the eaves troughs until spring?
We wouldn't. Wet leaves sitting in the trough all winter hold water against the fascia and block meltwater during thaws, which is when ice builds at the roof edge. A late gutter cleaning after the last leaves drop beats going into winter full. If snow has already arrived, call us and we'll talk through whether it's still practical.
