Why it matters here

The clean that matters most in University City 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

Heman Park and Ruth Park anchor a well-treed city, with mature street trees across the older blocks. Clogged outlets are a seasonal certainty here.

Ground and where the water goes

The River Des Peres rises near Clayton and runs through here, partly in culverts, and Midland Boulevard marks a watershed divide. Lots near low ground should send roof water away carefully rather than toward a creek bank or a neighbor.

What to look at first in University City

  • In the older south end, ask how straps and fixings will treat old masonry.
  • On postwar houses, probe the fascia before new gutters go up.
  • On low-lying lots, check where discharge runs before adding more downspouts.
  • Trace older underground pipes, which may lead to the sewer.

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.
