Gutters in Carondelet

Carondelet stretches along the Mississippi in the city's far southeast, once its own town, with a riverside industrial edge and Carondelet Park inland. Most of its homes went up between 1880 and 1930 and range from small cottages to larger houses and apartments.

Place: Carondelet, St. Louis
County: City of St. Louis
ZIP codes: 63111
Landmarks: Carondelet Park, Sugarloaf Mound, Carondelet Court House

The houses

Mostly brick, built between 1880 and 1930: single-story cottages, apartment buildings and larger single-family houses. Cottages have low eaves, which are easy to reach but leave overflow close to the wall. Larger buildings can need much more ladder.

The trees

Carondelet Park holds the big canopy, with street and yard trees scattered elsewhere. Exposure to the river valley can drive leaves onto roofs from a distance.

Ground and water

Ground steps down toward the river, with Sugarloaf Mound as a reminder of how old this landscape is. Downhill neighbors feel your roof water, and small-lot cottages have little room to spread it.

Worth checking

Check low cottage eaves, where overflow lands right against the foundation.
Look at old stone or brick foundations for signs of damp near downspouts.
On sloping streets, aim discharge so it doesn't run to a downhill neighbor.
On an apartment building, confirm who owns and maintains shared gutters.

Permits

City guidance says gutter and downspout replacement usually needs no permit outside a City Historic District. Ask the City of St. Louis Cultural Resources Office, (314) 657-3865 if your address may fall inside one, since this area has its own history.
