By Dmitriy Trubnik, Owner of DT Cleaning | March 22, 2026 A homeowner in Etobicoke called us for gutter cleaning and window cleaning on the same visit.

This family in North York had used DT Cleaning before. We had been out two years earlier to clean their eavestroughs - the system was clear, the downspouts were flowing, no problems noted.

By Saturday morning, a Rosedale property owner discovered her entire north-facing gutter hanging by two remaining hangers...
