Gutter and downspout size for Inglis rain

Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Inglis the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.00 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 720 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,440, 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 Inglis

Half the homes in Inglis were built by 1990, 24% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). At that age a gutter has seen decades of leaves and storms, and the fascia it hangs from has too.

81% of households own their home, and 52% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
