Gutter cleaning
in Overijse
Full clearing of gutters and downpipes, check of the fixings, water test. In Overijse (3090) it is a regular request: the tree cover keeps the roofs damp and the gutters fill up twice a year rather than once.

The context in Overijse
Why here in particular
What changes in Overijse is the context: post-war villas on sloping ground, old greenhouses, complex roofs with multiple pitches. The tree cover keeps the roofs damp and the gutters fill twice a year rather than once.
A blocked gutter overflows against the facade. Within a few winters the brick soaks up water, the render blisters and the base of the wall turns damp on the inside. It is the smallest piece of maintenance that costs the most when you forget it.

Frequently asked questions
Gutter cleaning in Overijse
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Do leaf guards work?
It keeps the big stuff out. Conifer needles and silt still get through — it spaces out the maintenance, it does not remove it.
Do you repair leaks while you are there?
A leaking joint, yes, if it is a matter of redoing mastic or a solder run. Replacing a section is quoted separately.
Do you need to be there?
No. Access around the house and to water is enough.
Do you come out to Overijse with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Overijse is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
