When to clean gutters in Mexico Beach
The first fall frost comes around November 29 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 1 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Mexico Beach rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Mexico Beach the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.62 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 680 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,360, 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.
