Gutter and downspout size for Hilliard rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Hilliard the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.83 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,050 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,110, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Hilliard
Half the homes in Hilliard were built by 1997, 20% 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.
