Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.

Gutter and downspout size for Citrus Springs rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Citrus Springs the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.94 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 720 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,450, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
