Westover sits directly across the Monongahela River from downtown Morgantown, packed onto the hillsides that climb away from the water. The housing is mostly older — compact frame and brick homes on small, steep lots, many dating to the early and mid-1900s when the area built up around the river and rail. Those tight lots and sharp grades are the whole story for gutter work in Westover: there’s rarely much room between the house and the property line, so roof runoff that isn’t carried decisively downhill ends up against the foundation or running onto a neighbor’s lot.
Because so many Westover homes are on slopes that fall toward or away from the river, downspout routing matters as much as the gutters themselves. A gutter can be perfect and still cause a wet basement if the downspouts dump at the foundation on a lot that grades the wrong way. The older roofs here also tend to carry their original gutters, so sagging runs, rusted-through sections, and seams that leak after years of freeze-thaw are common. Seamless replacement paired with properly placed, extended downspouts is the typical fix.
