When to clean gutters in Combes
Frost is rare in Combes, 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.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Combes rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Combes the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.71 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 740 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,480, 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.

Half the homes in Combes were built by 1996, 29% 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.
