Eavestrough & Gutter Cleaning Ottawa
Prevent Costly Damage with Expert Eavestrough Cleaning

Overflowing water can rot your soffit and fascia (the wooden boards just below your roofline), cause leaks in your roof, crack your foundation, and even lead to mould. At Clear Ottawa, we offer reliable year-round gutter cleaning services in Ottawa so you don’t face these expensive problems.
Booking is simple: you can schedule online, by phone, or even by text. We’ll send a clear confirmation and a reminder so you always know when we’re coming.

What’s Included in Our Gutter Cleaning Service
We go beyond a simple clean-up. Each visit is designed to keep your gutter system working well long after we leave:
-
Complete debris removal: We clear out leaves, twigs, roof grit, and dirt from both gutters and downspouts.
-
Downspout flushing: Using water (similar to running a garden hose through the pipes), we make sure clogs are fully cleared and water drains correctly.
-
System inspection: Our team checks your eavestroughs for loose brackets, rust spots, cracks, or seams that may be separating.
-
Minor on-the-spot repairs: If we see a small issue (like a loose downspout or leaky joint) we can fix it right away with your approval.
-
Service report and advice: You’ll receive a summary of what we did and any recommendations for future care.
Many homeowners also book window cleaning or siding washing at the same time for a complete exterior refresh.
This careful approach helps protect your home’s structure and keeps your gutter system healthy for the long term.
Before leaving, we walk you through the work, explain what we found (such as loose fasteners or water overflow from the roofline), and provide tips. You’ll also get a follow-up to confirm everything was done properly. If something isn’t right, we’ll fix it.
We can also recommend seasonal care and upgrades like gutter guards, which reduce debris build-up between visits.

Key Benefits of Our Professional Gutter Cleaning
1. Extend Gutter Lifespan and Save on Repairs
When debris sits in your gutters, it adds weight and strain. Over time, this can cause them to sag or even pull away from your home. Regular cleaning helps your gutters last longer and reduces the chance of replacement costs.
Our team works safely using stabilizers and protective gear, keeping both your home and our workers safe.
2. Protect Roof and Fascia from Rot
When water spills over clogged gutters, it soaks into the soffit and fascia. These boards support your gutter system and roof edge, but excess moisture can cause rot and serious damage. Cleaning your gutters regularly protects this structure and extends the life of your roof.
3. Prevent Pests and Standing Water
Still water in blocked gutters attracts mosquitoes, ants, and even rodents. By restoring full water flow, we stop gutters from becoming a pest breeding ground.
This is especially important in spring and fall, when wet leaves build up quickly. For a single story home, cleaning is easier and faster, but regular service is still essential to avoid pest issues.
4. Maintain Drainage and Prevent Basement Flooding
Poor drainage can push water toward your foundation, leading to cracks, erosion, and leaks. Clean gutters safely direct water away from your home, but long-term protection also depends on proper gutter drainage planning. As part of our service, we flush all downspouts to ensure there are no hidden blockages and confirm that water is flowing away from your foundation. This helps protect your basement and landscaping year-round.
