Fix the gutter first. Then protect it.
Mississauga sits in Peel Region on the Lake Ontario shore, bounded by Etobicoke Creek on the east side and Brampton to the north. It is one of the largest municipalities we work in and one of the most varied, from older lakeside streets to whole subdivisions built at once.
Subdivision housing tends to share a gutter problem as well as a floor plan: identical runs, identical hanger spacing, and the same low spot at the same corner on every house. We measure and correct each run on its own rather than assuming, which is why the price follows the drone survey instead of the phone call.
Five steps on every Mississauga job.
Four of the five happen before any mesh goes on. That order is the whole difference between gutter protection and a guard laid over a gutter that was already failing.
- Step 01
Clean
Everything comes out by hand, then the run is flushed until the downspout comes out clear.
- Step 02
Reseal
Every corner, end cap, seam and downspout collar is sealed. This is where an old gutter actually leaks.
- Step 03
Realign
Sagging sections come back to line and the whole run is set to a quarter inch of fall per ten feet.
- Step 04
Reinforce
New heavy duty hangers go in wherever the old ones pulled loose, before any weight goes on top.
- Step 05
Protect
Stainless steel micro-mesh goes on last, cut to your gutter profile and fastened down.
Stainless steel micro-mesh on an aluminum frame
A rigid aluminum frame for structural strength and long-term corrosion resistance, and a precision stainless steel micro-mesh that filters fine debris without giving up water flow. Rain goes through. Leaves, needles, maple keys and shingle grit stay on top and blow off dry.
- Aluminum frameRigid, extruded, holds its line
- Corrosion resistantWill not rust or degrade
- Micro-mesh filtrationFine debris stays on top
- Full water flowNothing given up to filter it
Why the preparation matters here.
A guard fitted to a failing gutter fails with it. That is true on every street in the GTA, and it is the reason the mesh is the fifth thing we do rather than the first.
Mississauga
A gutter needs about a quarter inch of fall for every ten feet to drain properly. A long straight run with a single downspout has very little margin for error, and that is where standing water and January ice usually start.
