Gutter Cleaning in Hamilton

Yes. When water overflows from clogged eavestroughs and runs down a brick facade, it saturates the mortar joints. Over repeated freeze-thaw cycles, that moisture causes the mortar to crack and crumble, a process called spalling. On Hamilton's Victorian and Edwardian homes, where the brick and mortar are over a hundred years old, this damage adds up quickly and repointing is expensive. Keeping gutters clean is one of the simplest ways to protect heritage masonry.

Yes. Many homes in the Lower City, especially in Durand and Corktown, are two and a half or three stories with steep rooflines. Our team is equipped with professional ladders and safety equipment to access even the most challenging gutter systems safely. We clean these properties regularly and are familiar with the access challenges that come with Hamilton's older housing stock.

Properties near the Escarpment brow collect fine sediment that washes down during rainstorms and settles in the troughs. This material mixes with leaf debris and compacts into a heavy sludge that blocks water flow. A garden hose flush will not clear it. We remove this sediment layer by hand before flushing the downspouts. It is one of the Hamilton-specific conditions we deal with on almost every job near the brow.

Yes. We inspect the entire gutter system on every visit. If we find loose brackets, sagging sections, separated seams, cracked elbows, or damaged downspouts, we document the issue and let you know. On older Hamilton homes, the most common problems we see are pulled fascia brackets from ice load and corroded seams on galvanized troughs. Catching these early prevents the water damage that follows.
