Gutter and downspout size for Hemphill rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Hemphill the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.96 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 800 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,610, 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 Hemphill
Half the homes in Hemphill were built by 1974, 61% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that age, many houses are on their second set of gutters or due for one, and the fascia board behind them is worth checking at the same visit. On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
52% of households own their home, and 54% of homes are detached houses, 3% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
