Eavestrough Cleaning

Keeping your gutters clean isn’t just about looks — it’s a key part of protecting your home. Our professional eavestrough cleaning service helps homeowners maintain both function and curb appeal by removing the debris that leads to clogs, overflow, and water leaks. When leaves, twigs, and sludge build up in your eavestroughs, they can block the flow of rainwater, causing it to spill over and pool where it shouldn’t.

At Ontario Downspout Service, we clean your eavestroughs thoroughly and safely, making sure they’re clear and ready to channel water away from your home the way they’re meant to. Regular cleaning not only prevents costly damage, but it also extends the life of your entire drainage system. Whether you’re booking seasonal maintenance or need a one-time deep clean, we make it easy to stay on top of it.

Downspout Repair & Replacement

A properly working downspout is just as important as the gutters it connects to. Without it, rainwater has nowhere to go — and that can quickly lead to flooding, erosion, or foundation issues. At Ontario Downspout Service, we offer both downspout repairs and full downspout installation services for homeowners across Toronto and the GTA. Whether your existing system is cracked, disconnected, or poorly placed, we’ll make sure everything is working together to keep water moving away from your home.

We assess how your gutters and downspouts are functioning as a complete drainage system and recommend the best fix based on your property’s layout. Sometimes a simple repair does the job, but in other cases, a new installation provides a longer-term solution. Either way, our goal is the same — protecting your home from water with smart, effective drainage that holds up through every storm.

Deicing Cables

When winter hits Toronto, ice buildup on your roof and gutters isn’t just annoying—it’s dangerous. Ice dams can lead to water leaks, roof damage, and even broken gutters if left unchecked. That’s where Ontario Downspout Service comes in. We specialize in installing deicing cables designed to prevent ice from forming in the first place. Our expert cable installation services are tailored for Toronto homes, helping you protect your roof and gutters during the harshest winter months.

French Drains

While your eavestroughs and downspouts handle water from above, what happens when it starts pooling around your foundation or flooding your yard? That’s where a French drain system comes in. Ontario Downspout Service offers professional French drain installation across Toronto and the GTA to help redirect surface water and groundwater away from your home. It’s the perfect solution when your current drainage system isn’t enough to protect vulnerable areas like your basement, foundation, or landscaping.

If you’ve noticed standing water near your home or signs of poor drainage even with properly functioning eavestroughs, it might be time to consider this below-ground solution.

FAQ

The terms “gutter” and “eavestrough” are often used interchangeably in Canada, but they refer to the same part of a home’s exterior drainage system. An eavestrough is the channel that runs along the edge of your roof, collecting rainwater and directing it toward the downspouts. In other regions, especially the U.S., “gutter” is the more commonly used term. Regardless of the name, both serve the same essential function: protecting your home from water damage by guiding rainwater away from your foundation.

At Ontario Downspout Service, we recommend and primarily install 6″ heavy-gauge aluminum eavestroughs. This system offers superior performance over standard 5″ options, especially during heavy rainfalls. The larger size improves flow capacity and allows for the installation of wider downspouts, which greatly reduces the risk of overflow and water pooling near the foundation. Heavy-gauge aluminum is also durable, rust-resistant, and low-maintenance — making it one of the best choices for homeowners in Toronto and the GTA.

Visible signs like sagging, leaks, rust, or water pooling around your foundation are common indicators that your eavestrough system isn’t working properly. If the damage is isolated to a small section, a targeted repair might be enough. However, if your gutters and downspouts are older, poorly sloped, or repeatedly clogging, a full replacement may be the more effective long-term solution. We offer both eavestrough repair and replacement services in Toronto and can assess your system to recommend the best course of action.

We recommend cleaning your eavestroughs at least twice a year — typically in the spring and fall. In areas with lots of surrounding trees or after a heavy storm, more frequent cleanings might be necessary. Regular eavestrough cleaning helps prevent clogs and water leaks while maintaining curb appeal and extending the life of your system. Our professional eavestrough cleaning service ensures that rainwater can flow freely and safely away from your home.

Yes, downspout replacement is possible without needing to replace the entire gutter system. If your eavestroughs are in good condition but the downspouts are damaged, disconnected, or undersized, targeted downspout repairs or a new installation can improve drainage and prevent water issues. We’ll evaluate the entire setup to make sure your gutters and downspouts are working together properly to protect your home from water.
