Full Eavestrough System Replacement

Complete eavestrough system removal and replacement for Ottawa homes and commercial properties. When your existing eavestroughs are beyond repair due to age, extensive corrosion, repeated ice damage, or accumulated problems from years of deferred maintenance, a full system replacement is the most cost-effective path to reliable, long-term water management.

Most eavestrough systems in Ottawa last between 20 and 30 years depending on material, installation quality, and maintenance history. Homes built during Ottawa's suburban expansion in the 1970s through 1990s across Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, and Nepean are now reaching the age where original eavestrough systems need replacement.

Signs that your system has reached end of life include multiple leaking seams, widespread corrosion or flaking paint, sections pulling away from the fascia despite repeated repair, visible sagging under normal conditions, and water staining on foundation walls or siding.

Our replacement process begins with a complete assessment of your existing system and roofline. We document the current layout, identify any deficiencies in downspout placement or capacity, and recommend improvements. Many older Ottawa homes were built with undersized eavestroughs or too few downspouts for the roof area they serve. A full replacement is the opportunity to correct these design shortcomings and bring your system up to current performance standards.

The replacement includes careful removal and disposal of all existing eavestroughs, downspouts, and hardware. We inspect the fascia boards and underlying wood structure, making repairs where needed before installing the new system. New seamless aluminum eavestroughs are formed on-site to the exact dimensions of your roofline, with proper slope, adequate hanger spacing for Ottawa's snow loads, and downspouts positioned for optimal drainage away from your foundation.

For properties with existing gutter guards, we can install compatible new guards on the replacement system. We also offer gutter guard installation as an add-on for homeowners who want to reduce future cleaning requirements. All old materials are removed from your property and disposed of responsibly, and a final water test confirms the new system is draining correctly.
