Free Onsite Visit & Inspection of Your Roof & Gutters

Did You Know

Your roof and gutter system plays a vital role in removing excess water and debris away from your precious investment? But who has the time (or desire) to climb up the rickety ladder to check out the condition of your roof or clean out the gutters? I mean have you smelt that nasty gunk that comes out of there? Well, it isn’t a job for the plumber, but it is just as important to keep up with this maintenance.

Who are you going to call? Clear Ottawa Windows and their team of experienced professionals.

We offer free onsite visits and inspections for new and existing clients. The purpose of our inspection service is to examine your roofing and gutter systems and provide you with technical knowledge about preventative maintenance. It is our goal to help you maintain the value of your structure.

The Scope of Inspection

• We will begin by examining the design of your roofing system. This will include determining the slope of your roof, which provides us with valuable information about what type of gutter is right for your roof.
• Next is determining the water flow. This includes identifying if water is flowing off of the roof into the gutters, or if it is pooling in certain areas causing water intrusion.
• We can help you determine if you need to think about a roof renovation if more roof vents are required. Another factor we consider is the color of your roof. The darker the color of your roof the more it decreases the lifespan.
• The next portion of the visit will focus on the plumbing of your roof. Yes, I’m talking about the gutters. It may come as a surprise, but many of the roofs we inspect do not have a large enough gutters for the capacity of rainfall. Although this may not affect or damage your structure immediately, after months or years of build up can cause detrimental damage. For instance, gutters that are too small or that don’t have appropriate downspouts, will cause water to run over the gutters and regrade the ground below.  This leads water toward your home and the potential to crack your foundation. That is why we highly recommend the use of 3×3 as opposed to 3×2 downspouts, which provide much more water displacement.
• Along with the size of the gutter system, we also inspect the greenery around your home and determine the effect these have on your gutter system. In some cases, we may recommend installing gutter guards, which would cut down immensely on leaves, needles, and debris blocking water flow.
