Gutter cleaning in Aylmer

Mature trees, a lot of volume

Old Aylmer and the streets along chemin d'Aylmer have one of the densest tree canopies in the Outaouais. Maples, oaks and elms hang directly over the roofs, so leaves aren't blown in from elsewhere, they drop straight into the gutter. The volume we pull off these properties is routinely double what a newer-subdivision home produces.

In the newer Plateau developments the issue is different: fewer leaves, but wide roofs and long downspouts that block at the elbow rather than at the surface.

Rain, river wind and freezing

Properties near the Ottawa River catch gusts that push wet leaves against walls and into roof valleys. A gutter that looked clear in September can be full after three weeks of wind and rain.

A late-season cleaning, end of October to mid-November, keeps a plug of soaked leaves from freezing in place and turning the gutter into a channel of ice for the winter.

How often in Aylmer?

In Old Aylmer and the heavily wooded streets, two cleanings a year is the realistic norm: one in the fall, one in the spring.

A Plateau home with young trees usually does fine with a single fall visit.
