W Contracting Roof Repair Regina · Eavestrough
Eavestrough in Regina, SK
W Contracting replaces and repairs eavestrough and downspouts across Regina. Trough is often the clearest evidence of hail on a property, and it is also the thing most likely to be moving water straight into your basement when it is not pitched or extended properly.
Eavestrough gets ignored until the basement is wet. Two things go wrong here. Hail dents and splits it, which is the same storm the roof took. And downspouts that discharge right at the foundation put every roof's worth of water directly against the wall, which is a far bigger bill than new trough.

Eavestrough: What Regina Homeowners Should Know
Sizing and Routing Eavestrough for a Regina Winter
Eavestrough is treated as trim and behaves as drainage, and in a climate that drops 104.6 cm of snow on Regina in an average year it is doing more work than most people credit. Undersized trough or too few downspouts means water backs up at the outlets, sits, and freezes, and once the trough is a block of ice the meltwater coming off the roof has nowhere to go but behind the fascia. That is the mechanism behind a surprising share of the water damage we get called about in February. Capacity, spacing of the outlets and the pitch of the run are what prevent it, and they are decisions made at installation.
Routing at the bottom matters just as much. A downspout that dumps against the foundation moves a roof's worth of water to the worst possible place, and on the flat ground around Regina it does not run away on its own. Extensions, splash blocks and a discharge point that actually slopes away are cheap compared to what saturated soil against a basement wall costs. We also make sure the trough hangs low enough at the back edge that snow sliding off the roof passes over it rather than tearing it off the fascia, which is a detail that gets missed until the first big slide takes the run down with it.

Eavestrough: Frequently Asked Questions
Is dented eavestrough worth claiming?
It is worth documenting. Trough damage helps establish that a hail event actually hit the property, which matters for the roof portion of the claim.
Do you install gutter guards?
We can. Whether they are worth it depends on what is above the roof, and we will tell you honestly if there are no trees near you.
How far should downspouts extend?
Far enough to get water past the backfill zone around the foundation. Right at the wall is the most common mistake we see.
Can you replace just one run?
Yes, if the rest is sound and we can match the profile and colour reasonably.
Do you repair the fascia too?
Yes. Rotten fascia gets found when the old trough comes off, and it has to be dealt with before new trough goes up.
