Original wood gutters and box gutters on historic homes need restoration or modern replacement.
Properly sized, properly routed — water away from your foundation.
Most foundation water problems in Ottawa aren't caused by failing gutters — they're caused by undersized or poorly-routed downspouts. We add capacity, reroute discharge, and install extensions or underground drainage that actually moves water away from your foundation.
Below-grade PVC with pop-up emitters works particularly well on Ottawa lots with grade challenges — we routed half a dozen this year alone.
Forest Park & Ottawa University · 50-min response from dispatch · Ranch housing stock
A historic Marais des Cygnes river town and home of Ottawa University, the city has a rich mix of preserved Victorian-era homes and mid-20th-century housing stock that demands gutter expertise.
Folk Victorians, Queen Anne cottages, prairie boxes from the early 1900s, and 1950s ranches close to the university.
Proximity to the Marais des Cygnes River means higher year-round humidity and more frequent flash-flood-grade rain events — properly sized downspouts are non-negotiable.

Decades-old fascia rot is common behind aged gutter systems.

Honest, line-itemed quotes — no high-pressure sales, no upsells, no surprise add-ons.
Adding or replacing a downspout typically runs $80–$180 per drop in Ottawa. Underground PVC drainage with pop-up emitter is $400–$900 per run installed.
Walk every downspout discharge point at your Ottawa home — find where water is pooling or moving toward the foundation.
Confirm downspout count and size matches your gutter system's actual capacity.
Add downspouts, swap to oversized 3×4, or reroute existing ones.
Above-grade extensions, underground PVC with emitter, or splash blocks — whichever fits the property.
Pour or hose test to confirm water moves at least 6 ft from the foundation.
