Eavestrough Cleaning
Full hand-cleaning of every trough on the home — debris removed, troughs rinsed, water flow confirmed. The complete service most Winnipeg homes book each spring and fall.
Eavestrough Cleaning in Winnipeg, MB
Professional gutter cleaning to keep water away from your foundation, your basement dry, and ice dams off your roof — serving Winnipeg homes since 2005.
Clogged Eavestroughs Cause More Damage Than You Think
When eavestroughs fill up with leaves, seed pods, and shingle grit, water has nowhere to go. It pours over the sides, pools against your foundation, sags the gutters off the fascia, and in a Winnipeg winter it freezes into ice dams that pry up shingles and back water into the attic. By spring, you’re looking at basement leaks and repair bills that dwarf the cost of a cleaning.
D&J cleans residential eavestroughs across Winnipeg with professional-grade equipment — ladders, blowers, and the right hand tools to clear debris without bending or scratching your gutters. We hand-clean the troughs, rinse them through, flush every downspout, and bag the debris so your yard stays clean. Most homes need it twice a year: once in spring after the seed pods drop, and once in fall after the leaves come down.
Service starts at $135 per visit. Add eavestrough cleaning to your seasonal yard work and you’ll never have to think about it again.
What we do:
- Hand-clear all leaves, seed pods, and debris from the eavestroughs
- Rinse the troughs to confirm proper flow toward the downspouts
- Flush every downspout to clear hidden blockages
- Bag and dispose of the debris — we leave the property clean
- Spring cleanings to clear out cottonwood seed and winter buildup
- Fall cleanings after the leaves drop, before the freeze
Our Eavestrough Services
Book a single cleaning or pair spring and fall visits into one annual package — whichever fits your home.
Gutter Cleaning
Same job, different name. If you’ve called them gutters your whole life, that’s what we’re cleaning — clearing leaves, seed pods, and shingle grit so water can drain the way it should.
Downspout Cleaning
Every downspout flushed top to bottom to clear hidden blockages where leaves and debris pack tight at the elbows. Good flow at the spout is what keeps water away from the foundation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions Winnipeg homeowners ask before booking an eavestrough cleaning with D&J.
When should I clean my eavestroughs in Winnipeg?
Two windows matter in Winnipeg. Spring — late May through June, after the cottonwood and elm seed pods drop — clears out the fluff and winter grit so summer rain has somewhere to go. Fall — mid-October through early November, after the leaves are down but before the hard freeze — is the critical one. Skip fall and you’re heading into winter with a trough full of wet leaves that’ll freeze solid and back water under your shingles.
How often do eavestroughs need cleaning?
Most Winnipeg homes need it twice a year — once in spring, once in fall. Homes with mature elms, maples, or cottonwoods overhead may need a quick mid-summer top-up after seed-pod season. Homes with no trees nearby can sometimes stretch to once a year, but we still recommend a fall cleaning every year regardless of how clean the troughs look from the ground — shingle grit and dust build up where you can’t see it.
Do you handle two-storey homes?
Yes — standard residential two-storey homes are well within what we clean, and the price reflects the extra ladder work. Three-plus storey homes, or homes where the only access is over a steep roof or off a deck without solid ladder footing, fall outside what we’ll take on safely. We’ll tell you straight if your house is one of those and point you to a company with a lift.
Why is fall cleaning so important in Winnipeg specifically?
Ice dams. When troughs are clogged heading into freeze-up, melting snow off the warm part of the roof has nowhere to drain — it pools, refreezes at the eaves, and the dam grows backward up the shingles until water finds its way under them and into the attic or wall cavity. By the time you see icicles in February, the damage is already happening. A clean trough drains the meltwater off the roof the way it’s supposed to, and the dam never forms in the first place. It’s the single cheapest piece of winter prep there is.
What does a typical service include?
Every visit is the same: we hand-clear all the debris out of the troughs, rinse the troughs through to confirm proper flow toward the downspouts, flush every downspout from the top to clear any hidden blockages, and bag the debris off your property. If we spot loose hangers, sagging sections, or fascia damage along the way, we’ll let you know — but the cleaning itself is a fixed-scope job at a known price, starting at $135 per visit.
