The clean that matters most in Tower Grove South 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
Street trees are big by now, and Tower Grove Park's canopy sits along the north edge. Expect maple seeds in spring and a heavy leaf drop in autumn, which can plug a short run on a small roof quickly.
Ground and where the water goes
Lots are small and fairly flat, with concrete gangways that carry water toward basement entries if a downspout ends in the wrong place. Rear yards usually give a better discharge than the side of the house.
What to look at first in Tower Grove South
- Check downspouts that empty into a gangway toward a basement door or window well.
- Look at two-families and four-families closely, since one run often serves a large shared roof.
- Clear gutters after the spring seed drop, before the wettest months.
- Trace older pipes at ground level to find out where they actually lead.
What to ask the contractor
