Don't Delay! The High Cost of Ignoring Eavestrough Damage in Ottawa


Even minor eavestrough issues can quickly escalate, leading to significant and expensive damage to your Ottawa home. Addressing problems promptly with professional eavestrough repairs is key to safeguarding your property.

Accelerated Foundation Damage

Damage from faulty eavestroughs is a chain reaction of destruction that starts at the roofline and ends with costly structural failure.

The process begins with a clogged, overflowing gutter or a broken downspout, which dumps a concentrated flow of water onto the ground. This creates an impact zone at the base of the house, characterized by pooling water, severe soil erosion, and mud splattering.

The foundation itself, which develops significant cracks and dark water stains from constant moisture saturation. This damage extends to the immediate surroundings, causing ruined landscaping, flooded window wells, undermined walkways, and a saturated lawn.

Worsening Siding & Wood Rot

This is typically due to clogs from leaves and debris, improper slope, cracks, or separated seams, preventing water from being channeled away from the home's exterior.

The exterior wall section directly below the faulty eavestrough. This zone begins at the roofline (fascia and soffit), extends down the full height of the wall, and ends at the foundation.

The wooden structural components located behind the visible siding. The constant moisture saturates and deteriorates the wall sheathing, studs, and the sill plate resting on the foundation. Visibly, this manifests as stained, warped, or softened siding, but the critical damage is the progressive, underlying wood rot.

Roof and Attic Leaks

Water backup from clogged, improperly sloped, or damaged eavestroughs. Instead of draining away, water either pools against the fascia board or, in winter, freezes to form an ice dam. This trapped water is then forced to travel backward and upward, penetrating underneath the bottom row of shingles and the roof's underlayment.


The lower edge of the roof assembly and the perimeter of the attic. The damage is concentrated along the roofline, directly above the faulty eavestrough section, affecting the fascia, soffits, roof decking, and the first few feet of attic space inward from the exterior wall.


The complete saturation and rot of the roof's edge components. The constant moisture from the backed-up gutter first destroys the fascia board and then decays the ends of the roof rafters (rafter tails) and the wooden roof sheathing they support. This structural decay creates a direct pathway for water to enter the attic.

Basement Flooding & Moisture Issues

Failure of the eavestrough system to discharge water far enough away from the home. This is most often due to disconnected, broken, or clogged downspouts, or downspouts that terminate directly at the foundation wall instead of being extended several feet away.


The exterior soil perimeter around the foundation and the interior of the basement or crawlspace. The damage begins in the soil and transfers directly to the subterranean portion of the structure.


The creation of intense hydrostatic pressure. As overflowing gutters and poorly placed downspouts dump massive volumes of water directly at the base of the house, the surrounding soil becomes super-saturated. The immense weight and pressure of this water forces its way through any available weakness in the foundation—such as cracks, the joint where the walls meet the floor (cove joint), or porous concrete—leading to active water infiltration.

Increased Repair Costs

Neglect and delayed action. The failure to perform routine, low-cost maintenance (like cleaning or minor sealing) on the eavestrough system allows minor, containable water exposure to evolve into widespread, severe structural failure.


The homeowner's overall budget and the scope of the required repair project. The zone expands from a simple, predictable, single-trade fix (e.g., gutter cleaning, downspout reattachment) to a complex, multi-trade restoration project involving roofers, carpenters, and mold remediation specialists.


The "Compounding Damage Point"—the critical moment where the initial problem triggers a chain reaction of secondary failures. This is the point of no return where a simple repair becomes a major replacement and remediation
