When is the best time to install eavestroughs?

Eavestroughs are one of the most important systems protecting your Ottawa home from costly water damage. But when it comes to replacing or installing new ones, timing matters. Choosing the right season can make a big difference in performance, installation quality, and even cost.
Let’s look at the best time to install eavestroughs—and how eavestrough cleaning ties into keeping your system working year-round.

Spring: The Prime Season

Spring is often the best time for eavestrough installation. After Ottawa’s harsh winters, your home may show signs of damage such as sagging gutters, leaks, or separation. Installing in spring ensures your system is ready to handle heavy spring rains and protects your foundation and basement from flooding.

Pairing your installation with eavestrough cleaning is also smart. Clearing away debris from the winter helps your new or existing system work efficiently right away.

Summer: Steady Weather, Smooth Installation

 
Summer offers stable, dry weather—ideal conditions for installers. Without snow or ice in the way, professionals can work quickly and ensure your system is installed with the proper slope and alignment. It’s also a great time to schedule routine eavestrough cleaning, preventing clogs from summer storms and tree debris.

Fall: Protect Before Winter

 
Fall is another excellent time to install new eavestroughs, especially before Ottawa’s snowfall begins. A fresh, properly sloped system prevents ice dams and water backup. Many homeowners also schedule eavestrough cleaning in the fall to clear out leaves, ensuring water flows freely before freeze-up.

Winter: Not Ideal, But Possible

Winter is generally the least convenient time for installation due to snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. However, emergency replacements are sometimes unavoidable if your system is severely damaged.
