Riverside Park mixes post-war bungalows and 1960s two-storey homes on streets like Kathleen Street and Victoria Road, many with mature maples and oaks that drop heavy leaf loads each autumn. The neighborhood sits directly beside Riverside Park and the Speed River, giving it a leafy, established feel with easy access to Exhibition Park and the University of Guelph.
Darren McAllister sees the same pattern every spring: ice dams form along north-facing eaves, joints leak from repeated freeze-thaw, and downspouts back up where foundations sit close to the riverbank. Licensed & Insured crews focus on reinforcing seams and adding proper drainage extensions to keep water away from basements that sit lower than surrounding lots.
