Why it matters here

Guards cut cleaning, but they don't end it, and they don't stop ice. In Tower Grove South, look at what actually falls on your roof before you pick a type. We pass your request to an independent contractor, who advises, quotes and fits. We don't sell guards.

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.

The houses in Tower Grove South

Streetcar-era brick: bungalows, two-families and four-families. Roofs are simple compared with the older districts, but side gangways are narrow and many gutters have been patched by several owners over the decades.

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

  1. Which type, and why for my trees?Ask them to name your trees and explain how the product handles them.
  2. How does it fix to the roof edge?Under the shingles, on the drip edge or on the gutter lip? Ask if that affects your roof warranty.
  3. What's the upkeep?Get an honest answer about brushing and downspout checks.
  4. What about ice?Ask what happens at the eave in a freeze and thaw.

Guards in Tower Grove South: questions

Which guard suits the trees in Tower Grove South?

Small seeds and catkins favor fine mesh. If it's mostly big leaves, simpler types can work. Ask the contractor to name your trees and explain the choice. The guard guide covers each type.

Can you get guards fitted on an older Tower Grove South home?

Often, but the gutter needs to be sound and pitched first, and old or slate roofs need care at the edge. Ask how the guard fixes and whether anything gets lifted.
