Eaves Trough Cleaning in Whitby, ON

Water where it belongs.

With so many two-storey homes in Williamsburg and the downtown heritage district, a lot of Whitby eaves troughs sit well beyond a stepladder. We do eaves trough cleaning in Whitby by hand, flush every downspout, check the brackets and joints, and bag the debris before we leave. A two-storey home usually runs $175 to $300, depending on the size of the roof and the number of downspouts.

Two-Storey Gutters and Fall Winterizing in Whitby

On a two-storey house, eavestrough cleaning is a tall-ladder job most people would rather hand off, and for good reason. A clog over the front entrance or a second-floor window spills water exactly where you'll notice it. We also make sure each downspout runs clear from the top, because a blockage partway down a tall downspout can hide behind a trough that looks empty. Everything we pull out goes into bags, not onto your flower beds.

Older character homes downtown sometimes need more than a cleaning. Troughs that have been up for decades develop leaky seams and loose brackets, and sections can pull away from the fascia. We handle minor repairs, resealing joints and refastening sagging runs. When a section is too far gone, we'll tell you plainly that it's time for a replacement instead of patching it again.

Whitby clients who book a fall winterizing visit can fold the gutter cleaning into it, and the timing makes sense. Clearing the troughs after the leaves drop means meltwater has somewhere to go in January instead of backing up and freezing at the roof edge. A late-spring cleaning, once seeds and blossoms have come down, rounds out the year and catches whatever the winter storms left behind.

How eaves trough cleaning works

  1. 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.

  2. Flush downspouts

    Each downspout gets flushed with a hose so we know it's clear.

  3. Check for problems

    We look for sagging sections, loose brackets, leaky joints, and spots where the trough has pulled away from the fascia.

  4. 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 Whitby: FAQ

Are gutter guards worth it on a two-storey Whitby house?

They cut down how often troughs need cleaning, but they don't end it. Fine debris and shingle grit still get through or collect on top, and guards make cleaning slower when it is needed. Under heavy tree cover they can earn their keep. On a newer home with young trees, regular cleaning is usually the cheaper choice.

Water drips behind the eaves trough on my older Whitby home even when it's clean. What's causing that?

Usually the trough has pulled away from the fascia, or the roof's drip edge doesn't reach far enough into the trough, so water runs down behind it. Left alone, that rots the fascia board. We check the brackets and the gap while cleaning and refasten the trough if that's the issue. If the drip edge is the problem, that's a fix for a roofer.
