Eavestrough repair in Mississauga: a $200 job on a sagging trough
Quick answer: In October 2026 DT Cleaning repaired a sagging eavestrough on a one-storey bungalow in Mississauga for $200: $160 for the repair, the realignment and a full cleaning, and $40 for 4 extra brackets at $10 each. When the crew left, the system was aligned and fastened and the water ran off freely.
The house has an asphalt shingle roof and white eavestroughs, with a wooden deck and a paver walkway along the fence on one side. The crew worked from the roof and from a ladder at the edge.
What a sagging eavestrough does
Quick answer: On this Mississauga house the crew found the system sagging; after it was realigned, no standing water remained. In general, a trough that dips between its supports can hold water in the low spot instead of carrying it to the downspout.
The City of Mississauga's drainage page says this about blocked eavestroughs: "If these get blocked, water can start to collect instead of draining and may cause property flooding."
How the crew realigned the eavestrough
Quick answer: The crew straightened the whole eavestrough system rather than one section, so the trough runs in one line again on its existing brackets plus 4 new ones. The work was part of the $160 that also covered the repair and the cleaning; the system itself was not replaced.
"Originally the system was sagging, so we straightened the whole system and installed four additional brackets to make it reliable and properly fastened."
Alex, DT Cleaning crew, Mississauga, October 2026 (translated from the crew's voice note)
4 extra eavestrough brackets at $10 each
Quick answer: 4 brackets were added at $10 each, $40 in all. In general, a bracket (or hanger) spans the trough and is fastened behind it, carrying the trough and whatever is in it; more brackets mean shorter unsupported spans. What made this trough sag was not recorded.
The number of brackets already on the house and the length of the run were not recorded, so this page gives only what was added and what it cost.
The eavestrough cleaning that went with the repair
Quick answer: The crew cleaned the whole eavestrough of debris and dirt on the same visit, inside the $160. In general, a trough that is both aligned and clear gives the water an open channel to the downspouts.
After the repair: no standing water in the eavestrough
Quick answer: After the $200 repair, our crew says, the system is aligned and securely fastened, the water flows freely, and no standing water is left in it. On the day the crew left, the eavestrough on this Mississauga bungalow was working as it should.
"The gutter system is now properly aligned and securely fastened. The water flows freely and no standing water remains."

How often should eavestroughs in Mississauga be checked?
Quick answer: Twice a year, in the Government of Canada's flood guidance: "Check your eavestroughs and downspouts at least twice per year, during fall and spring, to remove debris such as leaves and sticks".
The same federal page explains why installation and upkeep matter: "When properly installed and maintained, eavestroughs and downspouts can mitigate water damage by capturing and directing the flow of water away from your home's exterior walls and foundation."
Where the water goes after the eavestrough in Mississauga
Quick answer: 2 metres from the foundation: the City of Mississauga says roof downspouts should extend two metres away from the foundation and away from the neighbour's property. In general, the water the eavestrough collects is then carried away by the downspouts.
The City also publishes a guide to disconnecting downspouts for older homes whose downspouts still run into the sewer.
