90% of Basement leaks are caused by broken or blocked overflowing eavestroughs

Eavestrough Installers have been very lucky this year with very little snow and temperatures above zero Celsius. Actually Eavestrough installers can work in -20 degrees, as that is what our caulking maximum cold application specification is. People don't realize we are not roofers that require at least a couple of days of clear weather. Our Seamless eavestrough crews can be in and out in a half day on  an average house.
So February and March are the best months to do this work as there is very little precipitation to bother us and it gets the work done and in place for when the rain does come in April and May .

People tend to hibernate and do very little walking around their house at this time of the year. This is when they should be walking around and looking up at their eavestroughs to see if there are any signs of overflow(Dark muddy marks or overflow tracks, bits of leaves and dirt on the exterior of the eavestrough), Broken or loose elbows or joints, bent or bellowing eaves, Or broken and detached eavestroughs.
90%  of Basement leaks are caused by broken or  blocked   overflowing eavestroughs.

Once you see that you may have a problem it usually will need cleaning, repair or replacement.
Call a professional service provider like Gutter Force that specialises in Eavestroughs. Don't call roofers or handymen. They aren't the professionals in this area of expertise..

  8. I had no idea that basement leaks could be caused by eavestrough overflow. My basement started leaking last week and I haven't been able to figure out the cause. I bet my eavestrough has something to do with it.
