Gutters in University City
University City is an inner-ring suburb on the city's western edge, with the Delmar Loop at its heart. Its older south end is full of streetcar-era architecture, while the north developed after World War II. Those two halves ask for quite different gutter work.

The houses
Historic streetcar-era brick in the south, especially along Delmar, and postwar suburban houses farther north. In the south, expect masonry and old trim. In the north, expect long, simple eaves and fascia that may be on its second gutter.
The trees
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 water
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.
Worth checking
- 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.
Permits
University City has its own permit desk, so ask at city hall. Ask too whether your block has any local review that applies to exterior changes.
