When to clean gutters in Lake Kiowa
The first fall frost comes around November 14 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 19 (median dates, NOAA normals). A fall cleaning set for the weeks after that frost, when the branches over the house are bare, gets the year’s leaves in one trip; a spring visit follows once the pollen and catkins have come down.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Lake Kiowa rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Lake Kiowa the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 8.15 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 880 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,770, 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 Lake Kiowa
Half the homes in Lake Kiowa were built by 1994, 19% 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.
95% of households own their home, and 95% of homes are detached houses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
