Why now
What fall does to your home
Every Canadian season leaves its own mess. Here is what we see in Ottawa-area homes this time of year.
Leaves clog eavestroughs
Maple and oak leaves fill gutters in weeks. Blocked troughs overflow and freeze into ice dams.
Damp corners and mould
Cool, wet weather feeds mould in basements, bathrooms and window frames before the heat comes on.
First furnace run
The first heat cycle blows a summer of dust out of the ducts and onto every surface.
Holidays on the way
Thanksgiving and holiday guests arrive just as the windows close for winter.

Local know-how
Tips from our Ottawa crews
- 1
Do gutters twice if you have big trees
Homes under mature maples in Ottawa often need an early-October clean and a late-November one.
- 2
Ducts before the house
Book duct cleaning a few days before your house clean so the first heat cycle has nothing to blow around.
- 3
Beat the holiday rush
December fills fast. Book your pre-holiday deep clean in November and add a quick refresh later.
Fall cleaning: your questions
When should I clean my gutters in Ottawa?
After most leaves have fallen and before the ground freezes, usually late October to mid-November. Homes with large trees benefit from a second visit.
How much does eavestrough cleaning cost?
Bungalows start at $179 and two-storey homes at $249 before tax, including downspout flushing and debris bagged and removed.
Why clean ducts in the fall?
The furnace runs for six months straight. Cleaning the ducts before the first cold snap stops a summer of dust being blown through the house all winter.
Can you deal with mould before winter?
We start with a mould assessment ($149). Small surface mould is cleaned and treated; larger areas get a written remediation quote.
Should I book a deep clean before the holidays?
Yes, ideally in November. A deep clean from $263 covers inside the oven, baseboards and cabinets, then a standard clean just before guests arrive keeps it fresh.
