Eavestrough Installation

Complete new eavestrough system installation for Ottawa homes and commercial properties. Whether you are building a new home, replacing a worn-out system, or adding eavestroughs to an older property that never had them, professional installation ensures proper water management and long-term protection for your foundation, siding, and landscaping.

Ottawa's climate puts extraordinary demands on eavestrough systems. The region receives over 200 cm of snow annually, and the repeated freeze-thaw cycles from November through April create ice dam conditions that poorly installed eavestroughs simply cannot withstand. Our installation professionals use heavy-gauge aluminum, copper, or galvanized steel materials rated for Ottawa's temperature extremes, which regularly swing from -30C in January to +35C in July.

Seamless aluminum eavestroughs are the most popular choice for Ottawa homeowners, formed on-site to the exact measurements of your roofline. This eliminates joints where leaks typically develop. For heritage homes in the Glebe, Sandy Hill, Rockcliffe Park, and New Edinburgh, copper eavestroughs provide a period-appropriate aesthetic that develops a distinctive patina over time. Steel eavestroughs are available for commercial and industrial applications where maximum durability is required.

Proper slope and hanger spacing are critical in Ottawa's heavy snow environment. Our installers calculate the correct pitch for each run, position hangers at intervals that support snow and ice loads, and ensure downspout placement directs water well away from your foundation. For homes in clay-heavy areas like Kanata, Barrhaven, and Riverside South, correct water diversion is essential to prevent the soil expansion and foundation shifting that Ottawa's Leda clay is known for.

Every installation includes a full assessment of your roofline, fascia condition, and existing drainage. If your fascia boards show rot or damage, we recommend addressing those repairs before new eavestroughs go up, ensuring a solid mounting surface for decades of reliable performance.
