Gutter and downspout size for Cold Spring rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Cold Spring the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.03 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,020 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,050, 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 Cold Spring
Half the homes in Cold Spring were built by 1999, 25% 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.
88% of households own their home, and 50% of homes are detached houses, 24% townhouses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
