Granville sits on the west bank of the Monongahela River across from Star City, a small town that’s grown around the University Town Centre retail district while keeping its older riverfront residential core. That gives it two distinct kinds of housing: established homes on the river-bottom flats and the lower slopes, and newer construction on the higher ground behind the commercial corridor. Each calls for a different gutter approach.
On the flatter riverside lots, the issue is usually capacity and clogging — gutters that overflow in the area’s heavy summer storms because they’re undersized, sagging, or packed with debris from the hardwoods along the river. On the homes set into the hillsides above town, the bigger concern is runoff control: steep roofs shedding a lot of water fast, where downspouts have to carry it well away from the foundation on a grade that tends to slope back toward the structure. With North-Central WV averaging around 43 inches of rain a year, a properly sized seamless system and well-routed downspouts are what keep water out of these basements.
