MANTLE
Complete gutter cleaning with downspout flushing, bracket inspection, and photo documentation.

ClearCoat™ purified water flush eliminates mineral scale that York Region's hard water builds up inside gutter channels.

- Full inspection + photo report included
- Downspout flushing standard (not extra)
- ClearCoat™ flush removes mineral scale
- Gutter exterior face cleaning included
- 10% senior discount
- Redo-or-free guarantee

- New company — limited reviews initially
- 3-storey max (no high-rise)
- Smaller team = less same-day availability

- Still needs annual maintenance

What Clogged Gutters Cost You (Markham)
| Damage Type | Cause | Repair Cost | Prevention Cost |
|---|---|---|---|

| Basement flooding | Overflow saturating soil | $3,000 – $20,000+ | $149 – $299/cleaning |

How to Choose
- Ask what's included. Downspout flushing, gutter face cleaning, and bracket inspection should be standard — not extras.
- Request before/after photos. If they won't photograph the work, how do you know they cleaned inside the gutters?
- Check insurance. $2M liability minimum. Gutter cleaning involves ladders on your roof — real risk.
- Get quotes by linear foot. "From $149" means nothing without knowing your gutter length. 150-250 linear feet is typical for Markham homes.
- Ask about downspouts. Underground downspouts (common in Markham new builds) need water testing to check for clogs. Not all companies do this.
