How often should you clean gutters in Muskoka?

Pine needles, maple leaves and ice dams: how often Muskoka homes and cottages really need eavestrough cleaning.

In the trees, eavestroughs fill faster than most owners expect. Clogged gutters lead to ice dams, rotted fascia and wet foundations.

The short answer

Twice a year for most wooded lots: late fall after the leaves drop, and spring after the thaw. Heavy pine cover may need a third visit.

Warning signs

Watch for water spilling over the edge, sagging runs, plants growing in the trough and staining on siding below.

  • Overflow during rain
  • Sagging or pulled-away sections
  • Ice build-up at the eaves
  • Stains or rot on fascia
