Cleaning and unblocking gutters

To ensure that your eavestroughs are in good working order, you need to inspect them regularly. If you have a relatively low roof, or if the roof is easily accessible, you can do the job yourself.

Equipped with a ladder, you position yourself at the level of your gutter to inspect the pipes in detail. In autumn, this step needs to be carried out more frequently, as dead leaves tend to settle everywhere, having been blown about by the wind. The biggest challenge is to avoid leaning the ladder against the gutter, while still creating an optimum view of the ducts. In addition, check that there are no worn gutter segments that could cause water leaks and require replacement.

If you lack experience of working at height and/or are afraid of heights, we strongly recommend that you call in a professional for this inspection. Depending on the situation, our team will take the opportunity to clean and repair any wear directly. By relying on a specialist, you can be sure you won’t miss a thing when it comes to the condition of your gutters.

Once again, we don’t recommend cleaning your eavestroughs yourself, as they are high up and accidents can happen very quickly. This operation requires safety equipment, special care and a great deal of experience. Gutter cleaning must be carried out with care, to avoid damaging the structure and incurring additional costs. When carrying out this task, our team generally proceeds as follows. An inspection is mandatory, to determine the condition of the pipes and the level of blockage. The professionals in charge of the job then proceed to open the manholes and remove most of the dirt that has accumulated in the gutters. A jet of water sent down the pipes loosens the remaining dirt. The jet should be strong enough to clear clogs in elbows, if any. Once all the gutters have been cleared, a water jet test is carried out to check that the water is flowing optimally and that it is free of dirt. Finally, the team inspects the condition of your eavestroughs and suggests repairs and replacement of worn sections to prevent water leaks.
