Storm-Damaged Eavestrough Repair in Toronto

Eavestrough Inspection, Cleaning, and Repair Can Guard against Storm Damage

An effectively functioning roof is indispensable to protecting families and their personal possessions from the seasonal extremes of Toronto’s weather; in many respects, a roof acts as a shield against these elements, ensuring the family’s comfort and safety while holding at bay any high winds, rain, snow and ice, intense sun and heat, bitter cold, etc. that local residents can experience throughout any calendar year.

Yet the roof itself is merely one aspect of the entire roofing structure; another important component that contributes significantly to safeguarding a home and its occupants is the eavestrough system. This assemblage of horizontal channels and vertical drain pipes is responsible for collecting and carrying away rainwater and melted snow/ice from the roof of the home as well as preventing potentially serious water damage and expensive repair work to other parts of the home such as:

• Siding
• Masonry
• Windows
• Foundation
• Soffit/Fascia

Unfortunately, the eavestrough system can often be neglected, and even ignored, within the overall scope of home and property maintenance responsibilities. Since the majority of the system is situated somewhat out-of-sight along the roof edge, it may not receive the attention it deserves, particularly if it appears to be working appropriately. Often, its repair or full replacement may only be done after storm damage or failure has occurred, thus resulting in a rather substantial expense for the homeowner.

However, homeowners might escape such extensive eavestrough repair costs by making sure that this system is well-prepared for the eventuality of a storm, whether high wind, rain, snow, or any combination thereof; these preparations should include the following:

• Regular inspections
• Systematic cleaning
• Timely minor repairs

These preventative measures can be implemented by an avid do-it-yourself homeowner; however, in order to ensure that they are done thoroughly and knowledgeably and avoid the potential risks of working at heights/on a ladder, it might be more prudent to use the services of a professional roofing contractor such as Integrity Roofers.
