How often should you clean your gutters?

Gutters (eavestroughs) should be cleaned at least twice per year — once in late fall after leaves drop and once in spring. Properties near trees may need 3-4 cleanings per year. In Vancouver with heavy rainfall, regular gutter and eavestrough maintenance prevents water damage to your foundation, fascia, and soffits.

What happens if I don't clean my eavestroughs?

Clogged eavestroughs cause water to overflow, damaging your fascia, soffits, siding, and foundation. In BC's rainy climate, this can lead to basement flooding, mold growth, and costly structural repairs. Regular eavestrough cleaning is far cheaper than water damage repair — prevention costs $150-$300 vs thousands in repairs.

What is the difference between eavestroughs and gutters?

There is no difference — eavestrough and gutter refer to the same thing. Eavestrough is the more common Canadian term, while gutter is used more in the US. Both describe the channel along your roof edge that collects and redirects rainwater away from your home's foundation.

Can clogged gutters cause roof damage?

Yes. When eavestroughs are clogged, water backs up under your roof shingles, causing rot, leaks, and ice dams in winter. In Vancouver's heavy rain, overflowing gutters can also erode landscaping and damage your foundation. Bi-annual gutter cleaning prevents these costly problems.
