Eavestrough in Forest Heights
Eavestrough work across Forest Heights, from the bungalows off Westmount Road to the side-splits toward Fischer-Hallman.
Forest Heights is the clearest example in Kitchener of a neighbourhood whose eavestroughs have simply aged out. Many of the bungalows and side-splits here still carry steel or first-generation sectional aluminum trough hung on spikes into painted wood fascia, and after decades of freeze-thaw the symptoms are consistent: rust staining below the seams, runs that hold water after a storm, hangers standing proud of the fascia, and soft wood at the corners and under the old outlets. The mature trees that make the streets pleasant also fill the troughs, which is why a guard fitted with the new system is a frequent conversation here. Soffits were often closed in without venting, so an eave that ices each winter is part of the same job. Lots are moderate but side yards are tight, and downspout positions have to be chosen so the water lands on your own lawn with the two metres of open ground the City asks for, rather than at the neighbour's foundation. Most Forest Heights jobs are full replacement with fascia capping or partial replacement, and the site visit sets out exactly what is sound and what is not.

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.
