Eavestroughs & Drainage

Eavestrough Repair in Toronto & the GTA

A dripping corner over the front step. A trough that holds a puddle you can see from the ground. A run that pulled away from the house last winter and now hangs at an angle. None of these mean you need new eavestroughs — most of the time they mean one section needs an hour of honest work before the next storm finds your foundation.

Gutter repair is mostly mechanics, not mystery. Old spike-and-ferrule fasteners work loose as ice loads the trough year after year; we replace them with screw-in hidden hangers that bite properly. Leaking mitres get cleaned back to bare metal and resealed, or swapped outright. A sagging eavestrough gets re-hung and re-sloped so water travels to the downspout instead of sitting mid-run, where it freezes, expands and makes everything worse each winter.

When you send photos, we will tell you plainly whether this is a repair or the start of a replacement conversation. Sound aluminum with a bad corner or a stretch of failed hangers is worth fixing. A trough rusted through, or one leaking at every seam, is throwing sealant at a dead system — and we would rather quote you once for the right job than three times for patches.

What this covers

  • Resealing or replacing leaking corner mitres and end caps
  • Replacing pulled spikes with screw-in hidden hangers
  • Re-hanging and re-sloping sagging runs so water reaches the downspout
  • Patching or replacing individual damaged trough sections
  • Re-securing or replacing loose downspouts, elbows and straps
  • Clearing the trough and flushing downspouts as part of the repair
  • Sealing minor punctures and worn seam joints
  • A straight assessment of the rest of the system while we are up there

What affects the price

  • How many trouble spots there are — one corner versus problems on every elevation
  • Height and access; a second-storey rear run over a deck is slower than a bungalow front
  • Whether a section needs re-hanging and re-sloping or just resealing
  • Condition of the fascia behind the trough — loose hangers are often a rotten-wood problem
  • Matching existing trough profile and colour if a section needs replacing
  • Ice or storm damage that has twisted the metal versus simple wear
  • Time of year; frozen troughs have to be cleared before they can be worked on

Common questions

Why do my eavestroughs overflow even when they're clean?
Usually slope. Troughs settle over the years as fasteners loosen, and a run that back-pitches even slightly holds water until it spills over the front edge. Sometimes it is sizing — one downspout serving too much roof. A clean overflowing gutter is almost always a re-slope or an added downspout, not a replacement.
Can a sagging eavestrough be fixed without replacing it?
Most of the time, yes. If the aluminum is not kinked or rusted through, we re-hang the run on new hidden hangers, set the slope again and reseal the joints. That is a small job. Replacement only enters the picture when the metal itself is damaged or the trough has been bent by ice or a ladder.
What causes eavestrough leaks at the corners?
Corners are the only joints on a one-piece eavestrough run, so they take all the movement. Aluminum expands and contracts through every freeze-thaw cycle, and after enough winters the sealant cracks and lets water through. The fix is cleaning the joint back to bare metal and resealing with a proper gutter sealant — or replacing the mitre if it has been patched too many times already.
Is it worth repairing old steel gutters?
Rarely. Once steel troughs rust through in one spot, they are usually thin everywhere, and every patch buys you a season or two at best. We will do a spot repair if you are bridging to a planned replacement, but we will say clearly when you are paying to maintain something that is finished. Aluminum systems, by contrast, are almost always repairable.
When should I get eavestrough repairs done?
Before winter, ideally. Every fault you carry into freeze-up gets worse: standing water becomes ice, ice load pulls hangers, and overflow at the eaves feeds ice dams. Fall books up fast, so if you noticed a problem during spring rains, deal with it in summer when scheduling is easy and sealants cure quickly.
