Gutter Cleaning in Northdale & University District
Gutter cleaning in Northdale and the streets between the two universities, off Columbia, Albert, University Avenue and the Laurier side of uptown, where most of the houses are rented.
The university district has Waterloo's highest concentration of rented houses and its lowest concentration of people who will ever clean a gutter. The housing is older storey-and-a-halfs, bungalows with basement units and converted two-storeys, under mature street trees, and the owner is usually elsewhere. Long-term rentals here need the City's annually renewed rental housing licence, and the property standards by-law covers roof drainage kept off neighbouring properties, sidewalks and roads, so a downspout pouring onto the public sidewalk outside a student house is the kind of thing that generates a complaint. The landlord service exists for this: fall and spring visits across all of an owner's houses on one route, every downspout tested and its discharge photographed, a dated photo record sent to the owner, tenants given a courtesy notice and otherwise left alone. Guards are often sensible on these houses because they buy time between visits. The older fascia behind the gutters is sometimes soft from years of overflow, and when it is the quote says so plainly, because that is carpentry before it is gutter work.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover St. Jacobs, Elmira and the Woolwich villages?
Yes, on the same terms as the city. The job on a village or farm property differs in the house rather than the distance: longer single-storey runs, more downspouts, and conifer windbreaks that drop needles rather than leaves.
Is the leaf program the same in Woolwich?
No. The townships do not run loose leaf collection, so the Region's biweekly paper-bag yard waste pickup or having the debris taken away are the routes there. The Region's 23 kg and no-plastic rules apply everywhere.
Does the stormwater credit apply outside Waterloo?
The tiers quoted here are the City of Waterloo's and apply to Waterloo utility accounts. Kitchener runs a separate program with different tiers, and the townships have their own arrangements. Ask the municipality that bills you.
