Eavestrough Repairs & Installation in Whitby

Eavestrough problems are easy to ignore because the consequence shows up somewhere else. The trough itself just looks a bit crooked. Meanwhile every rainfall is delivering the entire roof surface into a concentrated column right against the foundation wall. The failures are predictable. Spikes work loose through freeze-thaw and the trough sags between them, so water pools instead of running to the downspout. Seams separate and drip. The pitch drifts - sometimes it was wrong from installation - and water sits until it overflows the front edge. Downspouts discharge at the base of the wall rather than clear of it. GTA winters accelerate all of it. Standing water in a sagging trough freezes, and ice is heavy enough to pull the whole run further off the fascia. Then the trough is even more out of pitch, holds more water, and freezes worse next time. It compounds every season. Where that water ends up is the part that costs money: saturated soil against the foundation, hydrostatic pressure on the basement wall, eroded grading, and eventually seepage. A basement leak often traces back to a sixty-dollar length of trough that nobody re-hung.
