Gutter and downspout size for Keedysville rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Keedysville the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.50 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,110 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,220, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

Half the homes in Keedysville were built by 2002, 32% 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.
