Weather and gutters in Lexington
NOAA Atlas 14 does not cover Washington and Oregon, so there is no current federal estimate of the short downpour for Lexington; NOAA plans published Atlas 15 estimates for the lower 48 states no earlier than September 2027. Here gutters are sized from the roof and the local building department’s design rate.
The houses in Lexington
Half the homes in Lexington were built by 1993, 27% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Houses that age have often had their gutters replaced once already; if not, the original runs and the boards behind them deserve a close look.
80% of households own their home, and 80% of homes are detached houses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
