When to clean gutters in Indian Lake
Frost is rare in Indian Lake, 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 Indian Lake rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Indian Lake the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.95 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). 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. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
