When to clean gutters in Biloxi
The first fall frost comes around December 14 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 12 (median dates, NOAA normals). A fall cleaning set for the weeks after that frost, when the branches over the house are bare, gets the year’s leaves in one trip; a spring visit follows once the pollen and catkins have come down.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Biloxi rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Biloxi the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 11.18 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 640 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,290, 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.
The houses in Biloxi
Half the homes in Biloxi were built by 1990, 38% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). At that age a gutter has seen decades of leaves and storms, and the fascia it hangs from has too.
49% of households own their home, and 52% of homes are detached houses, 5% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
