Eavestrough cleaning is also called gutter cleaning. The useful price comparison includes the gutter runs, downspouts, access and cleanup, rather than the number of storeys alone.

What changes the cost?
| Detail | Why it matters | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Gutter length | More runs create a larger cleaning scope. | Photos of each side and approximate dimensions if known. |
| Height and access | Upper runs, additions and obstacles affect how work can be reached. | Storeys, gates, decks, sunrooms and access restrictions. |
| Debris and drainage | Packed material and blocked outlets need assessment. | When it was last cleaned and where water overflows. |
| Gutter guards | The exact product affects access to the channel and outlets. | Product name or a clear photo if available. |
| Repairs | Leaking or sagging gutters need a separate repair scope. | Photos and a description of the problem. |
A home's storey count can help describe access, but it is not enough to calculate a final price. Two houses of similar size can have different rooflines, guard systems and access conditions.
What is included in D&D gutter cleaning?
The gutter cleaning service describes hand-clearing the agreed runs, flushing downspouts and removing the collected debris. Confirm which structures and runs are included, especially detached garages or additions.
Because downspout flushing is part of this published service, it should not also be presented here as a routine per-downspout surcharge. An unusual obstruction, repair or inaccessible section needs its own assessment and written scope.
Cleaning and repairs are different jobs
Cleaning can reveal loose fasteners, leaking corners or damaged outlets. Ask whether any proposed repair is included or separately quoted. If guards need removal, identify the product and agree on how removal and refitting will be handled.
A below-ground drain is also different from the downspout above it. Describe any suspected underground blockage so the correct assessment can be discussed; do not assume a gutter cleaning quote covers buried drainage work.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Set the schedule from what collects on the property. Nearby trees, guards, roof shape and previous blockage affect the need. Inspect after seasonal leaf or seed drop and investigate overflow promptly. Avoid judging the entire system from one clear section visible from the ground.
Keep a record of when it was cleaned and any drainage problems. That gives the next assessment more useful information than assuming every Ontario house needs exactly the same interval.
