Eaves Trough Cleaning in Port Perry, ON
Water where it belongs.
When an eaves trough overflows on a property near Lake Scugog, the extra water has nowhere good to go. It soaks the ground beside the foundation, splashes up the siding and feeds mildew. We do eaves trough cleaning in Port Perry for in-town homes and lakeside cottages. The troughs get cleared by hand and every downspout is flushed, so the water leaves the house the way it should.
Keeping Overflow Away From Lakeside Foundations
On a damp lot, an overflowing trough adds water exactly where you don't want it. The soil next to the foundation is already slow to dry, and a steady sheet of water off the roof edge keeps it soaked. That's how a dry basement starts showing damp corners and the bottom row of siding turns green. Clear troughs and working downspouts are about the cheapest fix a house near the water can get.
Freeze-thaw by the lake makes the fall cleaning the one not to skip. A trough full of wet leaves going into winter freezes solid, and meltwater backs up behind it into an ice dam that can push water under the shingles and pull the trough off its brackets. Our eavestrough cleaning happens after the leaves come down, and we check that each run still slopes toward its outlet.
Cottages sit empty for long stretches, so nobody notices a blocked downspout until there's a stain on a ceiling or a run of trough sagging off the fascia. Downspout cleaning is part of every visit for that reason. Treed lots near the water may need a midsummer visit too. Single-storey homes usually run $125 to $200, and two-storey homes $175 to $300.

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 cost in Port Perry
Gutter cleaning on a standard single-storey home usually costs $125 to $200.
Two-storey homes run $175 to $300, depending on the size of the roof and how many downspouts there are.
We recommend cleaning twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall.
Every job gets a free written estimate first, so the price is settled before work starts.

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

Water pours over the front of my eaves trough even after it's cleaned. What's wrong?
It's usually one of three things. The trough may have lost its slope, so water pools instead of running to the downspout. A downspout may be blocked lower down where you can't see it. Or the trough has come away from the fascia. We flush every downspout and check for sagging and loose brackets, and minor fixes like refastening a section can often be done the same visit.
What's different about gutter care on a lakeside property?
Not the equipment, but the attention. Damp ground near the lake means downspouts should carry water well away from the foundation, and the extra freeze-thaw makes a late-fall cleaning matter more. While we're up there we look at the whole system, including brackets that have worked loose and joints that drip, and tell you about anything that needs fixing before winter.
