Eavestrough in Doon South
Eavestrough work across Doon South, from the streets off Doon South Drive to the newest phases toward the Grand River.
Doon South is almost all recent construction, and the eavestrough question here is not age but specification. Builder systems across the subdivision tend to share the same economies: thin-gauge aluminum, spike-and-ferrule nails instead of screwed hangers, a single 2-by-3 downspout serving a run that needs two, and discharge points chosen for the shortest path rather than for where the water can go. On lots this close together that often means an elbow releasing a metre from the neighbour's basement window well. The fascia and soffit are aluminum and generally fine; the work is right-sizing the trough and outlets, swapping to screwed hangers, and moving downspouts so they discharge onto your own grading with the two metres of open ground the City recommends. The builder's lot grading, with swales between houses, is the drainage plan for the whole street, and a downspout should release onto it rather than into a low spot. Two-storey homes with upper roofs draining onto lower ones often justify a 6-inch trough on the lower run. Where a homeowner is adding a rain barrel for Kitchener's stormwater credit, the downspout is positioned for it at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work outside Kitchener — Breslau, Baden, the townships?
Yes, on the same terms. Distance does not change the quote. What does is the house: a long rural farmhouse with a steel roof and a single downspout is a different job from a bungalow in Forest Heights, and the site visit is where that gets settled.
Are the downspout rules different in the townships?
The Region of Waterloo Sewer Use By-law applies across the Region, so roof water stays out of the sanitary sewer everywhere. The two-metre guidance quoted on this site is the City of Kitchener's. For a property in Woolwich or Wilmot, the township and, where there is a septic system, the setback to the bed are what govern where a downspout can discharge, and we check before placing one.
Do you handle houses on wells and septic?
Yes, and the septic bed changes the downspout plan. Roof water discharged over a leaching bed overloads it, so downspouts on the bed side of the house are run or extended away from it. If you have a drawing of the bed, have it out for the site visit.
