Gutters collect and drain water from the roof. However, their job can be compromised when debris gets trapped in their channels, preventing water from draining properly.

To protect your home from roof leaks and structural damage, we recommend that you inspect your roofs several times a year, then clean them in the fall and spring. Leaves, twigs, buds and fruit should be removed.

It's essential to call in a specialist company or carry out an urgent inspection yourself if a gutter is overflowing or if water is not draining sufficiently on rainy days.

In winter, be sure to remove any ice build-up in your eavestroughs to prevent leaks and damage to your pipes.
