Do I really need eavestroughs?
Eavestroughs, also known as gutters, are essential to the health of your home. Often overlooked, eavestroughs protect your home from water damage by diverting rain water and melted snow away from your property. To better understand why do we need eavestroughs, let’s explore what happens to our home if it has no gutters…
Without eavestroughs, properties are subject to:
COMPROMISED FOUNDATION
Runoff due to the erosion of soil around the house may cause water to flow towards your home instead of away from it.
Erosion will compromise your property’s foundation, leading to cracked walls and uneven floors.
BASEMENT FLOODING
Cracks in the foundation gives water a way in to your basement. The pressure from water-logged soil around the house will push the basement walls in, allowing water seepage.
The amount of water entering your basement may not look substantial initially, but it can lead to long-term problems, including mold.
ROTTEN / MOLDY SIDINGS – compromises entire structure
Moldy or rotting siding look disgusting! Not only does it deplete your property’s curb appeal, but it is a key indication that water isn’t getting far enough away from your house. All that water gets trapped behind the sidings too, which severely impacts the structure of your property.
Mold and rot trapped behind the sidings compromise the integrity of the property’s structure, and poses a definite health hazard.
DAMAGED LANDSCAPE
Constant water drippage off the roof causes divets in the ground which ruin landscaping and are impossible to fill as they continue to get washed away.
This persistent impact also causes a serious problem to your foundation as it can erode your foundation, leading to structural issues.

We take pride in our work and it shows!
Very professional experience dealing with John and crew. Our home required new gutters but we asked John if they could remove all the old to allow us to paint the facia and then return to install the new and he worked totally within our timelines and did a great job! I would highly recommend Xtreme Gutters.
John and his partner were great! We have had a few trades doing work lately and it was refreshing to see a team that showed up early, were not on their phones and every time I looked outside they were busting their butts off. I think they took maybe a ten minute lunch break! They even worked into the dark (winter night) to get the job done. Very impressed. Would recommend for sure.
John came up with some good suggestions for a couple problem areas around my house, and his solutions worked perfectly. He missed a couple small details the first day, but returned promptly to complete the work to my satisfaction. Very customer service oriented contractor, and the cost was reasonable too. I would use them again!
Xtreme Gutters just completed a full renovation on my home; soffits, gutters, facia, the works. They knocked it out of the park! Everything looks fantastic! John and his crew are professional, knowledgeable, diligent and extremely hard-working. Well done!
