Welcome to EZ window cleaning, where we not only clean your gutters and downspouts, but fix them too! The gutter, also known as the eavestrough, is a thin metal pipe that open from the top, running the length of your roof. It encircles the house and collects rainwater, which is then directed into downspouts, to spill out safely away from the house.
If you have water dripping down the side of your house walls while your eavestrough is not overflowing, it may mean that it has been punctured or otherwise damaged. The source of the damage may vary, but the result – water is escaping the eavestrough instead of draining properly – is the same, and it’s a problem. This is when you need our eavestrough repair service!
As a result of general ageing and temperature changes, a standard eavestrough seal is unfortunately capable of breaking apart, and creating holes in the joints. When this happens, you can call us in for our reliable solutions. Firstly, it is very important to clean the gutters thoroughly to avoid any standing water. We will then remove old seal completely, and clean the exposed surface. Once this is done, a new bond can be applied before additional protection can be added through rubber spray and similar tools.
Every once in a while, you may experience winds that are strong enough tear the downpipe apart from the eavestrough. When this happens, we can reinstall it by using carefully selected and placed nails to secure the downpipe back onto your house, across its full length.Or the eavestrough if its hanging loosely on the roofline.
In some cases, especially when the water drainage is weak or the existing downpipe is interfering with other elements of your home and drainage systems, we can move and reinstall your downspouts for additional convenience of use.
A newly-installed eavestrough is always a good investment, but when they aren’t functioning as intended, it may be due to lack of overlapping shingles, which create a smooth “path” for water to drain inside the gutter canal. As a result, water can seep between the gutter and fascia straight to the house wall or into the backyard. We can extend the shingle from the roof to create a smooth path for running water.
