Gutter and downspout size for Bono rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Bono the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.92 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 910 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,820, 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 Bono
Half the homes in Bono were built by 1997, 27% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that young, many houses still have the gutters the builder put up, and the usual call is a cleaning, a leak or guards rather than a full replacement.
53% of households own their home, and 72% of homes are detached houses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
