Gutter 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
Professional eavestrough and gutter cleaning for homes up to 1½ storeys in southeast Winnipeg.
Residential Eavestrough and Gutter Cleaning
Leaves, seed pods, and shingle grit can block an eavestrough and stop water from moving toward the downspout. Cleaning removes this buildup and helps the drainage system work as intended.
D&J hand-clears the troughs, rinses them to check the flow, flushes each downspout, and bags the removed debris. Service is available for standard residential homes up to 1½ storeys in D&J’s southeast Winnipeg service area.
Service starts at $135 per visit. The final price depends on the home and access conditions.
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
What Eavestrough Cleaning Includes
Eavestrough and gutter cleaning are two names for the same residential drainage service.
Eavestrough Cleaning
Same job, different name. “Eavestrough” is the Canadian and Winnipeg term most homeowners grew up with — 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
Common questions about booking eavestrough and gutter cleaning with D&J.
When should I clean my eavestroughs in Winnipeg?
Two windows matter in Winnipeg. Spring — late May through September, 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?
No — standard residential 1½ storeys only. Anything taller than 1½ storeys, 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.
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.
