Eavestroughs and Leaf Guards for Ottawa Homes
An eavestrough in Ottawa has a lot to handle. Spring melt, summer downpours and fall leaves all run through it, and in winter ice builds up and pulls on every hanger. Vanity Roofing installs, repairs and cleans eavestroughs and downspouts and installs Alu-Rex gutter guards on homes across Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley. Our eavestrough crew also works under the Ottawa Eavestroughing name, so it is the same team and the same standards.
Working eavestroughs carry water away from your roof, walls and foundation, which helps prevent basement flooding, rotted fascia, ice on walkways and washed-out gardens. Because we are also roofers, we check how your eavestrough ties into the roof edge, drip edge and soffit and fascia, not just the trough itself.
Eavestrough Installation
A new eavestrough system is sized to your roof and pitched so water runs to the downspouts instead of sitting in the trough. We install aluminum eavestroughs and downspouts in a range of colours to match your trim, with hidden hangers spaced to carry Ottawa snow and ice.
We also plan downspout locations and extensions so water lands well away from your foundation, and we can add gutter guards at the same time to keep leaves out from day one.
Eavestrough Repair in Ottawa
Not every problem needs a whole new system. We repair leaking seams and end caps, sagging sections, loose or broken hangers, crushed downspouts and corners pulled away by ice. If you are not sure what is wrong, we will take a look and give you an honest answer on repair versus replacement.
Fixing eavestroughs off a ladder is risky, and a small leak left alone can soak your fascia, drip onto walkways and freeze into a slip hazard, or send water into the basement. If water is also getting in at the roof edge, our roof repair team can fix that on the same visit.
Eavestrough Cleaning
Leaves, seeds and shingle granules pile up in eavestroughs every season. Once they clog, water backs up, spills over the side and freezes in winter, adding weight that bends the trough and can feed ice dams on the roof. Cleaning them yourself means hours on a ladder and a real risk of falling.
Our crews use ladder stabilizers so the ladder never rests on your eavestroughs and never scratches or dents the metal. We clear the troughs, flush the downspouts and check for leaks and loose hangers while we are up there. To stop the cleaning chore for good, we also install the Alu-Rex gutter guard system.
Alu-Rex Gutter Guards for Leaf Protection
Alu-Rex gutter guards cover the top of your eavestrough so water gets in and leaves, needles and debris stay out. That means far less cleaning, fewer clogs and less weight sitting in the trough through Ottawa’s freeze-thaw winters.
Clogged eavestroughs overflow in summer and freeze solid in winter, and that water ends up in your fascia, walls and foundation. Gutter guards help prevent that, and they pair well with ice dam removal and good attic ventilation to keep meltwater moving off the roof.

Eavestrough FAQs
What is eavestroughing service?
Eavestroughing covers the installation, repair, cleaning and maintenance of eavestroughs and downspouts, the channels along the edge of your roof that collect rain and meltwater and carry it away from the house.
Why is eavestroughing important?
Without working eavestroughs, water pours off the roof edge onto your walls, windows, walkways and foundation. Over time that means rotted fascia, wet basements, icy steps and washed-out gardens, and clogged troughs can also help ice dams form on the roof.
What types of eavestroughing services does Vanity Roofing offer in Ottawa?
We install new eavestroughs and downspouts, repair leaks and sagging sections, clean out clogged troughs and install Alu-Rex gutter guards. Our eavestrough crew also works under the Ottawa Eavestroughing name.
Do you offer free estimates for eavestroughing services?
Yes, every eavestrough estimate in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley is free with no obligation.
What materials do you use for eavestrough installation?
We install aluminum and copper eavestroughs and downspouts, with aluminum available in a range of colours to match your trim.
How long does an eavestrough installation take?
Most eavestrough installations on a typical home are done in a day. Larger homes, complicated rooflines or adding gutter guards can take a little longer.
What is the warranty for your eavestroughing services?
Our eavestrough work is backed by a warranty, and gutter guards and materials carry their own manufacturer coverage. Ask us about the warranty for your project when we give you the estimate.
