Why it matters here

The clean that matters most in Dogtown is the last one before freezing weather, because a clogged outlet in December turns into a block of ice. Spring matters too, with the wettest months ahead. Independent contractors do the work; we only pass on your request.

Trees and what lands in the gutter

Forest Park lies just to the north, and yards hold a mix of older shade trees. Leaves drift onto roofs well past the first frost, so a clean done too early may need repeating.

Ground and where the water goes

Hillier than much of south city, so water on one lot can run toward the next. Discharge downhill and away, and check what happens at retaining walls and rear steps.

What to look at first in Dogtown

  • On sloped lots, check that a downspout doesn't run down against a retaining wall or a neighbor's foundation.
  • Check wood fascia on frame houses for soft spots before hanging anything new.
  • Look at rear additions where a new roof meets an old wall.
  • Plan a late cleaning, since leaves keep coming after the first frost.

What to ask the contractor

  1. What's included?Troughs, downspouts, flush, debris removal. Get it in writing, even in a text.
  2. How do you price it?Ask for a fixed figure after they've seen the house, and what would change it.
  3. Will you show me what you find?Ask for photos of the troughs and of any damage. Check the claim before paying for added repairs.
  4. Are you insured for ladder work?It's your house under that ladder. Ask for the certificate.
