Drainage InspectionWhy Professional Drainage Inspection in Toronto is Essential
At Luso Roofing, we know that a solid roof is only part of the equation. Proper roof drainage is just as important to protect your home, especially during Toronto’s harsh winters. If your eavestroughs and downspouts aren’t set up or functioning correctly, you risk:
- Ice damming that leads to roof leaks
- Water pooling near the fascia or soffit
- Long-term roof deterioration due to trapped moisture
Our drainage inspection in Toronto helps homeowners identify and resolve roof-related water management issues before they lead to problems.
5 Critical Warning Signs You Need Drain Inspection Services
Water Pooling Near Foundation
If water is pooling within 10 feet of your foundation, your downspouts may not be directing runoff far enough from the home, risking both structural and roofing damage
Overflowing or Clogged Gutters
When multiple gutters overflow or drain slowly during rain, it’s a clear sign of blockage or poor slope that can lead to water backup and roof edge rot.
Gurgling in Downspouts
Gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your downspouts after rainfall may indicate improper pitch or partial blockage, which disrupts drainage from the roof.
Staining or Cracks Along Fascia or Soffit
New stains or cracks near the roofline can result from water spilling over clogged eavestroughs, especially in areas prone to ice damming.
Musty or Damp Odors in Attic or Upper Walls
Moisture that doesn't drain properly from the roof can seep into attic spaces or behind exterior walls, causing damp smells and long-term damage
Protecting Your Roof Starts with a Proper Gutter Inspection
Routine gutter inspection is a critical part of maintaining a healthy roof. At Luso Roofing, we inspect your eavestroughs and downspouts to ensure water drains properly and doesn’t compromise your roof or foundation.
During a gutter inspection, we check for:
- Debris buildup that could block water flow
- Improper slope or pitch that causes water to sit instead of drain
- Loose or detached sections of gutter
- Downspout alignment and discharge distance from the home
By catching these issues early, we help prevent more serious problems like rotting fascia, mold growth, or winter ice buildup.
Preventing Ice Dams Through Smart Roof Drainage
Ice damming is one of the most damaging roof drainage issues Toronto homeowners face in winter. It occurs when melting snow refreezes at the roof edge, preventing water from draining properly. This trapped water can seep under shingles, damaging insulation, ceilings, and walls.
Common causes include:
- Poor attic insulation or ventilation
- Blocked or poorly pitched eavestroughs
- Inadequate downspout drainage away from the home
We help prevent ice dams by:
- Ensuring your gutters are clear and free-flowing
- Verifying proper slope and drainage setup
- Inspecting roof edges and recommending improvements where needed
Proper gutter function is your first defense against ice damming—and we make sure it’s working as it should before winter arrives

FAQs About Drainage Inspection in Toronto
How does Toronto’s climate affect roof drainage?
The freeze-thaw cycles in winter can cause gutters to shift, downspouts to disconnect, and water to back up which can lead to leaks or ice damming.
Can I inspect my gutters and downspouts myself?
You can spot clogs or loose parts, but with our drain inspection services, we check slope, flow, and hard-to-see damage you might miss.
How often should I get my roof drainage inspected?
Once a year is a good rule, especially for older homes, homes with past drainage issues, or before buying a property.
