How does emptying gutters without a ladder work?

Discover in three steps how ladder-free gutter cleaning and emptying works, the technology that our technicians use and which has long been very popular in the United States and Western Canada.

01.

INDUSTRIAL VACUUM CLEANER

The suction of debris is often soaked in water and therefore very heavy, so emptying the gutters is not an easy task. Our industrial vacuum cleaner has the greatest suction available on the market to ensure cleaning and emptying of the gutter. All dry or wet debris will be removed when emptying your gutters and, if necessary, our technician will be able to unblock the remaining debris himself.

02.

CARBON POLE

Our J-shaped carbon pole system allows gutters to be emptied without the need for ladders. Our equipment goes up to 50 feet high, or 5 floors, so all homes, condos or buildings can use our gutter emptying. Our technology helps avoid any accidents to our employees and/or your home when emptying your gutters.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EMPTYING GUTTERS

Gutters are not decorations on your house, they have an important purpose: to keep water away from your roof and foundations. If water cannot circulate in your gutters due to the presence of debris: leaves, shingle grains, etc. your house is at risk… it is therefore important to ensure that your gutters are emptied.

In fact, we recommend that homeowners empty their gutters at least once a year, if possible twice. Whether you have trees or not on your property, emptying the gutter is important... It is possible that your neighbors' leaves and/or samaras (the famous helicopters that fall from maple trees) make their way to your house due to wind and fill your gutters.

Your neighbors don’t have any trees either? You still have to empty the gutters! Due to rain, wind, snow and ice, your roof is damaged every year. This causes the shingle to crumble and release seeds which accumulate at the bottom of the gutter. This carries two risks: the gutter becomes blocked and may overflow and/or the weight of the shingle grains deform your gutter, which weakens it and can damage it considerably.

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR INSURANCE!

Normally, your home insurance does not cover damage caused by water infiltration caused by overflowing gutters and/or repeated dripping from them. If your floors are damaged by infiltration of the foundations or your walls are moldy by infiltration of the roof and walls, you will have to cover the costs of the repair work yourself. Avoid the worst by having your gutters emptied every year!

What are the potential consequences of not emptying your gutters?

Water infiltration in the roof

When water cannot drain as it should, it accumulates in the gutter. Unfortunately, when the gutter is full because it has not been emptied, it overflows. Most of the water will end up overflowing the side of the house and thus entering the attic. This can cause significant damage to the roof, create mold and damage the ceiling. This water damage is not insured... so empty your gutters to allow your gutters to do their good job!

Water infiltration into the foundations

When water comes out to the ground, there is still a danger for your home. Instead of seeping directly into the roof, water accumulates near your foundation. Eventually, a hollow may be created near your foundations and affect the slopes of your land. This can lead to water pooling and water could seep inside the house and/or into your walls. No need to explain that this can bring serious consequences. Emptying the gutters therefore avoids these potential complications.

Danger of falling and injury

When water flows to the ground, significant dangers for you and your loved ones arise. First of all, nothing is more unpleasant than having cold, dirty water fall on your head when leaving your house in the morning. Then, when the cold sets in, the water on the ground freezes and this creates patches of ice which can cause falls and injuries. A simple missed gutter emptying can therefore have serious consequences!

dirt and unkempt appearance

In addition to being dangerous for your property and your family, full gutters dirty the exterior of the gutter. Since the debris inside is often dark in color, the overflowing water brings with it dirt which accumulates on the side of the gutter. Black streaks will form and dry out in the sun, which will leave your house in poor condition and can damage the gutter. Gutter cleaning is therefore essential!
