Eavestrough & Downspout Repair

Broken or damaged eavestroughs and downspouts are a common cause of serious exterior issues — especially during heavy rain or snowmelt. When your drainage system fails, water can overflow and pool around your home’s foundation, leading to basement flooding, foundation leaks, and long-term water damage.

At Ontario Downspout Service, we provide fast, reliable repairs for malfunctioning gutters and downspouts across Toronto and the GTA. Whether a section has pulled away from the roofline, is blocked, or has been crushed by ice or debris, we’ll get it functioning again quickly and properly. Our goal is to restore effective drainage and stop damage before it spreads — helping you protect your home from costly repairs and prevent future emergencies.

Hail & Storm Damage

Severe weather can take a serious toll on your home’s exterior, especially your roof. High winds, heavy rain, and hail can crack shingles, dislodge flashing, or damage drainage systems — leaving your home vulnerable to leaks and long-term issues. Our experienced roofing contractors at Ontario Downspout Service are ready to respond quickly with expert storm damage repair across Toronto and the GTA.

If you’ve noticed missing shingles, dents from hail, or signs of water infiltration, don’t wait to repair your roof. Even minor issues can lead to larger structural problems if left unaddressed. We provide prompt assessments and effective roof repairs to restore your roof’s integrity and prevent further damage. When the storm clears, we’re the team you can count on to help get your home back to normal — fast.

Ice Dam Damage

During the winter months in Toronto and the GTA, ice dams are a common issue that can cause major headaches for homeowners. When snow on your roof melts and refreezes near the edges, it creates a barrier that traps water behind it. This trapped water can seep under shingles and lead to serious water damage, leaks, and structural problems if not handled quickly.

At Ontario Downspout Service, we’re an experienced ice dam removal company offering fast, safe solutions to this seasonal threat. We understand how emergency roofing issues caused by ice dams can escalate quickly, which is why we respond promptly to prevent further damage. Whether you’re dealing with active leaks or looking to protect your home before the next snowfall, our team is here to keep your roof clear and your home dry.

Act Early to Avoid Costly Repairs

While emergency repairs are sometimes unavoidable, many major issues can be prevented with the right care. At Ontario Downspout Service, we help homeowners across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area take a proactive approach through regular roof inspections and a reliable maintenance program tailored to your home’s needs.

Routine maintenance not only helps identify small problems before they escalate, but it also extends the lifespan of your roof and reduces the risk of unexpected damage. Our team will check for signs of wear, poor drainage, and seasonal vulnerabilities, especially before and after winter. Investing in preventative care today can save you from costly emergencies tomorrow — and give you peace of mind all year long.

FAQ

At Ontario Downspout Service, we handle a wide range of exterior emergencies for homeowners across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. These include sudden roof leaks, storm damage repair, broken downspouts, clogged or collapsed eavestroughs, and ice dam damage during the winter months. Whether you’re dealing with wind-torn shingles, a blocked gutter causing overflow, or water pouring into your basement from drainage failure, our team responds quickly with the right tools and solutions to protect your home from further damage. We specialize in fast, efficient emergency services that help minimize costly repairs and keep your property safe.

Yes — if weather conditions or material availability prevent us from completing a full repair right away, we can implement safe and effective temporary solutions to stabilize the situation. For example, we may install a water-resistant tarp to cover roof damage, redirect downspouts to avoid foundation leaks, or patch an active roof leak until a full repair can be scheduled. Our goal is to stop ongoing water damage immediately and give you peace of mind until permanent repairs are in place. We always follow up quickly with a full assessment and long-term fix.

Preventing roofing emergencies starts with regular maintenance and proactive care. Scheduling an annual roof inspection through a trusted Toronto roofing contractor allows you to catch small issues before they turn into larger problems. Keeping your eavestroughs and downspouts clear of debris is also critical — clogs are a common cause of water overflow and roof stress, especially during rain or snowmelt. Signing up for a maintenance program ensures your entire roofing system is checked routinely, especially before and after winter, helping you extend the lifespan of your roof and avoid costly surprises.

Routine roof maintenance is far more cost-effective than dealing with unexpected emergencies. Regular inspections and minor repairs help you detect wear, poor drainage, or minor leaks early — before they escalate into full-blown roof damage requiring urgent fixes. Preventative care also preserves your home’s structural integrity and helps maintain energy efficiency, especially through harsh Toronto winters. Compared to the stress and expense of emergency roof repair, a well-planned maintenance program gives you control over your budget and peace of mind all year round.

Fixing a leaking flat roof starts with identifying the source of the leak — which can be tricky since water often travels before it becomes visible inside the home. Our team begins by inspecting the membrane for punctures, blistering, cracked seams, or ponding water. Depending on the severity, we may apply a temporary sealant as part of an emergency repair or complete a full patch using compatible roofing materials. In cases of widespread damage, a full flat roof repair or replacement may be recommended. We provide thorough assessments and long-term solutions for flat roofs across Toronto and the GTA to prevent recurring leaks and extend roof life.

I wasn't sure what needed to be done with my father's roof and the most important thing to me was finding someone I could trust. The roofing scene can be tricky to navigate. I've had bad luck in the past. Ontario Downspout Services had been recommended by a neighbour. Harvey answered the phone and he was a calming and thoughtful soul who started the whole...

Mark and his crew did a great job replacing the flat roof on my house and dealing with a leak I had into my living room by replacing a strip of roof and eaves trough along a side of my house in an awkward narrow area between my house and my neighbours.

I found Ontario Downspout Service on Homestar and I am so glad I did! I initially got Mark to give me an estimate to replace one of the downspouts on my roof that became detached. He was the only one that gave me a quote right away and came over very quickly to fix it. While on the roof, we got talking and he inspected my roof and gave me an estimate. The work was...
