The clean that matters most in Kirkwood 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
Kirkwood is proud of its trees, and its Greentree Festival has raised money to replace park trees. Shade like that means seeds, leaves and small twigs, and damp gutters that stay wet longer.
Ground and where the water goes
Rolling ground, with bluffs above the Meramec at the far southern edge. On slopes, check where water ends up, because it can reach a neighbor or a retaining wall quickly.
What to look at first in Kirkwood
- If the house has an addition, check that new and old roof sections drain to enough downspouts.
- Look at fascia under the shade of big trees, where wood stays damp longer.
- Check that hillside discharge doesn't reach a retaining wall or a neighbor.
- Ask about guards if ladder work is awkward and tree cover is heavy.
