When to clean gutters in Bellaire
Frost is rare in Bellaire, and in many years there is none (NOAA normals). With no hard freeze to strip the trees, the fall cleaning follows the leaf drop itself; book it once the trees over the roof are bare, and plan a second visit in spring.

Gutter and downspout size for Bellaire rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Bellaire the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.12 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 710 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,420, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
