Quick answer: Seamless aluminum eavestrough installation for a standard Hamilton home costs $1,500–$3,000, including downspout relocation to meet grading requirements. Hamilton's clay-dominant soil means improper grading or downspout placement directly contributes to basement water infiltration — a problem that costs $5,000–$15,000 to remediate. Bosani Roofing sizes eavestroughs to your roof's drainage area and grades all downspouts away from the foundation.

Three Signs You Need Eavestrough Installation
🌧️ Water pools at your foundation
Hamilton's clay soil doesn't absorb water fast enough. Eavestroughs dumping near the foundation will cause basement infiltration.
🔩 Eavestroughs pulling from fascia
Sagging eavestroughs dump water behind the fascia board, causing rot that spreads to soffit and rafters — a $3,000+ repair if left.
🧊 Chronic ice dams at the eave edge
Undersized or improperly graded eavestroughs worsen ice dams by failing to drain meltwater before it refreezes.
When You Need It
⚡ Visible rust, cracks, or holes
Steel eavestroughs from the 1980s–1990s are beyond cost-effective repair — seamless aluminum replacement is the right call.
⚡ Landscaping erosion below the roofline
Erosion directly below the drip edge means eavestroughs aren't catching or redirecting water effectively.
⚡ After a full roof replacement
New rooflines can change water volume distribution — Bosani recommends an eavestrough review with every new roof.
⚠️ What Happens If You Wait?
Ignoring failed eavestroughs costs 10x the replacement in 3–5 years. Fascia rot: $800–$2,500. Foundation waterproofing: $5,000–$20,000. Mold remediation: $3,000–$10,000. A $2,000 eavestrough job today prevents all three.
