    The city of Ottawa might as well have a revolving door for visitors and tourists. Streets are always packed with excitable faces, taking in the sights of the city. Ottawa is all fun and games for those passing through, but property owners have a bit more responsibility than that. Taking care of a commercial, multiunit or residential property can be tough but with a little help from a Gorilla – it doesn’t have to be! Let our specialists tackle the toughest chores, like your Ottawa gutter cleaning. A professional service is the only way to rid your drainage system of unwanted debris safely and efficiently.

    Why Gutter Cleaning is Essential

    Roof clutter is a common sight for properties in the Ottawa area. Organic debris comes in all shapes and sizes, but no matter the size, this clutter leads to eavestrough blockages. Items are dislodged or transported by strong winds, rain storms until they settle into the opened areas of your gutters. When it comes to these perimeter drains, even the smallest pieces of foreign material can mean big issues. It is easy to brush off a few pieces of dirt here or there, but when it settles into drains, it begins to form a foundation. Heavier materials like sticks, needles and seed pods are stubborn intruders. Most professional cleaning services might start at the surface, but our Gorillas don’t stop until every last piece of debris is gone.

    Cleaning out gutters is not only an inconvenience, but it can be dangerous as well. Propping a ladder up against a gutter system is not enough to keep you safe during cleaning. One wrong move could lead to a lengthy stay in a cast. Because proper eavestrough cleaning is no easy task, our Gorillas operate fully insured to keep your property safe. In addition to climbing the heights of your property, our Gorillas ensure a complete clean. The first step is assessment, requiring nothing more than a trained eye and our Gorillas are highly trained. Once the larger materials are pulled out and away from your drainage system, high-powered vacuums do the rest. These vacuums hoover out even the smallest pieces of material, leaving nothing but clear pathways for drainage and travel. Clearing out your gutters gets rid of build-up, blockages and the threat of insects and rodents setting up shop in the debris.

    Going Gorilla For Your Ottawa Gutter Cleaning

    When you choose Gorilla Property Services, you are not only signing up for professional service, but expert, local care as well. Because our Gorillas are local to your area, they understand the challenges facing property owners. Understanding the climate of the community is vital is assessing problem areas and treating them properly. Instead of just stopping at the opened areas of your eavestrough, our Gorillas treat covered areas and downspouts to ensure that your system runs smoothly.  Before our Gorillas pack in their tools, hoses are used to ensure that water can flow freely throughout your gutter system. Our Gorillas might be humble, but they still take pride in their work. Our maintenance specialists are happy to share our results with clients through ‘before and after’ photos. Stay on the ground, but in the loop with our Gorillas.

    Common questions

    Gutter Cleaning — answered

    What kind of debris fills gutters around here?

    The dominant load comes from mature maple (Glebe, Westboro), oak, urban-canopy elm in some areas. Ottawa’s mature-canopy neighbourhoods — places like Westboro and The Glebe — see the heaviest accumulation. Add general atmospheric debris (pollen, road dust, organic matter blowing in) and gutters fill faster than most properties expect.

    Can clogged gutters really damage the foundation?

    Yes — clogged gutters dump water at the foundation instead of carrying it to downspout extensions. The local soil profile (Leda clay — sensitive marine clay — significant foundation movement risk) responds to that moisture cycle by moving, and that movement is the leading cause of foundation cracks on older homes. The link between gutter maintenance and basement leaks is direct.

    Do you handle steep or hillside properties?

    Yes — escarpment lots, ravine properties, and older homes with steep pitches need specialty ladder gear and fall-arrest equipment. Steep landscape access is quoted property-by-property; any access surcharge is confirmed at walkthrough, never added at invoice.

    Are gutter guards worth installing?

    For properties under heavy canopy, yes — guards meaningfully reduce visit frequency. But they don’t eliminate the need: fine debris (seed, pollen, fine catkins) still works past most mesh. Plan on annual inspection even with guards installed, not “set and forget.”

    Should I bundle gutter cleaning with other services?

    Often worth it. Roof cleaning loosens debris that ends up in gutters anyway, so same-day service captures everything. Pre-winter snow contract holders benefit from pairing gutter cleaning to prevent ice-dam formation. Bundle discounts usually apply.

    How is the service priced?

    Pricing scales with linear footage of gutter, debris severity, and access complexity. Single-family detached homes fall in a clear range; larger lots, multi-storey, or extreme debris loads cost more. A quote is provided after the on-site walkthrough — no surprise additions on the invoice.

    When is the best season to book?

    Late October to early November is the peak booking — after maple and oak drop, before snow. Late May is the secondary window. Mid-summer cleans for high-canopy properties are increasingly common.

    Will I get a written report after the service?

    Yes — every visit includes before-and-after photos, notes on any issues found (sagging hangers, separated seams, undersized downspouts), and any recommendations for repair or upgrades. The report is emailed within 24 hours of the visit.

    What's the local sidewalk-clearing bylaw — and does it apply to gutters?

    The sidewalk bylaw in Ottawa requires homeowners to clear adjacent sidewalks within 24 hours for residential, immediate for commercial. Gutters aren’t covered by the bylaw directly, but neglected gutters that dump water onto sidewalks can refreeze into ice hazards — which IS the homeowner’s liability. Annual cleaning prevents that scenario.
