In Ottawa, back-to-school season runs from the first week of September.

What that means for your home:
The next 4 weeks are the last genuinely quiet stretch. Morning schedules accelerate. Evening routines fill up. The exterior of your home — the windows, the eavestroughs, the driveway gets pushed lower on the priority list and stays there until spring.

August is the last month most Ottawa homeowners will realistically think about exterior maintenance before November. One professional clean before September addresses what summer built up:
→ Pollen coat and humidity film on exterior glass
→ Pre-fall debris in the eavestrough before the leaf load arrives
→ Biological growth on hard surfaces before it hardens into winter

One visit. Then your home goes into fall exactly the way it should. Book before the school calendar takes over.

Ottawa's summer humidity averaging 79% in July turns outdoor surfaces into biological growth environments faster than most homeowners realise.

This Manotick home's composite deck had two summers of algae, mildew, and organic residue on every board.

The homeowners had stopped using it not consciously, but gradually. It just didn't feel like somewhere to sit.

Clear Ottawa pressure washed the deck in two hours.
Three days later: dinner party on the deck.
That's the job. That's the Exterior Home Doctor.
Not renovation. Not replacement.

The right pressure at the right PSI for the surface and two hours of work that gave them their summer back.

Pressure washing available across Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven, Nepean, Manotick, and Stittsville.

08/26/2026

This is the question we get asked most often when we show up to an eavestrough job:
"Should I repair this or replace the whole system?"

Here's the honest answer. Repair when you see:
✅ A single leaking joint — sealant failure is a $75–$250 repair
✅ One or two sagging sections — rehang cost is $150–$400 per section
✅ A cracked endcap — replace the endcap, not the run
✅ A single loose hanger — a 20-minute fix, not a replacement

Replace when you see:
❌ Sagging along the majority of the run — the system has lost structural integrity
❌ Widespread rust or visible cracking across multiple sections
❌ Fasteners pulling out of rotted fascia — the fascia needs replacing, and so does the eavestrough
❌ A system that's 25+ years old — seamless aluminum lasts 20–30 years in Ottawa's climate

Clear Ottawa — Ottawa's Exterior Home Doctor gives you this assessment in writing before we recommend anything.

We repair when repair is right. We replace when replacement is right. We'll tell you honestly which is which.

Ottawa applies road salt to municipal roads from November through March approximately 23kg of salt per lane-kilometre per winter event

That salt splashes onto driveways and walkways adjacent to roads on every passing vehicle for five months.

Here's what road salt does to concrete at the molecular surface level:

Pe*******on. Salt solution penetrates the porous concrete surface through capillary action. In unprotected concrete, this pe*******on reaches 2–4cm in a single season.

Spalling initiation. When trapped salt solution freezes, it expands inside the concrete pore structure a process called freeze-thaw spalling. This creates micro-fractures just below the surface. Over 3–5 Ottawa winters, those micro-fractures become visible surface pitting and flaking.

Biological facilitation. Salt-stressed concrete loses its natural pH resistance. Algae and mold colonise salt-compromised surfaces faster than healthy concrete. By August, Ottawa driveways near major roads have both salt damage and biological growth compounding together.

The correct response: professional pressure washing with a salt-neutralising pre-treatment, followed by a penetrating concrete sealer.

Clear Ottawa — Ottawa's Exterior Home Doctor uses the right pre-treatment chemistry for Ottawa's specific salt exposure conditions.

There's a difference between a home that was cleaned today and a home that was diagnosed, treated, and documented today. Most cleaning companies offer the first.

Clear Ottawa — Ottawa's Exterior Home Doctor — delivers the second.

What every Clear Ottawa service includes:
→ Pre-service inspection of all surfaces, documenting existing conditions, damage, and concerns
→ Method selection matched to your specific surface materials not whatever's fastest
→ Service delivery using equipment appropriate to the job, not one-size-fits-all tools
→ Post-service walkthrough with the homeowner we show you what we found and what we did
→ Written report of findings, recommendations, and anything to monitor before the next visit

This is the Exterior Home Doctor standard. Not because we're the cheapest option. Because we're the right one.

Industry guidance is clear: eavestroughs should be cleaned twice per year, spring and fall.

But for Ottawa homes specifically, the honest answer is more nuanced.

Twice per year minimum for: Homes with deciduous tree coverage within 30 feet of the roofline. Maples, oaks, and elms in Ottawa's established neighbourhoods shed heavily twice per season. Spring seeds and fall leaves both require a dedicated clean.

Three times per year for: Homes with pine or spruce coverage within 20 feet of the roofline. Pine needles shed year-round and compact differently than deciduous debris they create impenetrable mats faster.

Once per year acceptable for: Homes with minimal tree coverage and modern seamless aluminum eavestroughs in good condition. If your property is open and your system is relatively new, a single spring clean may be sufficient and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case for your home.

After any major storm: Ottawa's summer thunderstorms can deposit significant roofline debris in a single event. We always recommend a post-storm inspection if you notice overflow during or after a storm.

Clear Ottawa — Ottawa's Exterior Home Doctor gives you a maintenance recommendation tailored to your property.

This isn't urgency for urgency's sake.

Every year, we watch Ottawa homeowners wait until October to think about eavestrough cleaning. By then, our calendar is full. The November storms arrive before we can get to them. And debris-filtered water heads toward foundations that have been drying out all winter already stressed.

Industry guidance recommends cleaning eavestroughs twice per year: spring and fall.

Book your September clean now. Benefits of booking ahead:
✅ You get the week you want not whatever is left
✅ We clean before peak leaf fall — removing summer debris before it compounds
✅ Your foundation goes into winter dry
✅ No scrambling in October when everyone calls at once

September booking is open. August slots are limited.

Ottawa's 2026 renovation trends show a clear shift: homeowners are moving outdoor living from the backyard to the front of the home. Front porches, statement entrances, and front-facing outdoor seating areas are among the top requested features in Ottawa renovations this year.

Here's what nobody tells you when you're designing a beautiful new front porch:
The most visible thing from that porch the thing you look up at every morning with your coffee is your eavestrough. If it's sagging, stained, packed with debris, or running with overflow in every rain it's the first thing your guests notice when they approach the house, and it's the first thing you see when you sit down outside.

A properly cleaned, inspected, and optionally guard-protected front eavestrough run:
→ Eliminates the overflow staining on your new porch ceiling and columns
→ Removes the biological growth accumulating at the joint above your front entrance
→ Ensures your new outdoor space isn't interrupted by water sheeting off a blocked gutter in summer rain

The renovation is the front porch. The maintenance is what makes it stay beautiful.

Ottawa's municipal tap water contains dissolved minerals — calcium, magnesium, and trace chlorine compounds.

When tap water is applied to glass and evaporates, these minerals remain on the surface as water spots and mineral deposits. Clean them with tap water and you're reintroducing the very compounds that cause the problem. This is why professional window cleaning done with tap water often leaves results that streak or spot within days.

Clear Ottawa — Ottawa's Exterior Home Doctor uses a purified water-fed pole system for exterior glass cleaning. Purified water (TDS near zero effectively zero dissolved minerals) leaves no mineral residue when it evaporates. The glass dries spot-free and stays cleaner longer.

The science is simple:
Tap water deposits minerals on glass.
Purified water leaves nothing behind.
The difference is visible within the first week.
