Cheat Lake is the upscale lakeside community east of Morgantown, built around the reservoir on the Cheat River and backed by the heavily wooded ridges that run out toward Cooper’s Rock State Forest. The housing here skews newer and larger — multi-story homes on steep, tree-covered lots with complex rooflines, deep eaves, and a lot of roof area shedding water toward the lake or down the hillside. It’s the most demanding gutter environment in the service area, and for two specific reasons.
First, the trees: these lots sit under dense oak and maple canopy, so gutters fill with leaves, seeds, and fine debris through a long fall — micro-mesh guards are almost a requirement here, not an upgrade. Second, the grade: water coming off a big roof on a steep wooded lot has to be captured by gutters sized to keep up and then carried well away from the foundation, or it erodes the hillside and finds the basement. Add the freeze-thaw winters and roughly 28 inches of annual snow loading the eaves, and Cheat Lake homeowners deal with clogging, overflow, and ice all in one season.
