100-year-old homes with original wood box gutters...
100-year-old homes with original wood box gutters need either restoration or modern conversion.
Properly sized, properly routed — water away from your foundation.
Most foundation water problems in Kansas City aren't caused by failing gutters — they're caused by undersized or poorly-routed downspouts. We add capacity, reroute discharge, and install extensions or underground drainage that actually moves water away from your foundation.
Below-grade PVC with pop-up emitters works particularly well on Kansas City lots with grade challenges — we routed half a dozen this year alone.

Add downspouts, swap to oversized 3×4, or reroute existing ones.
