Gutter and downspout size for Moss Point rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Moss Point the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 11.15 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 650 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,290, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Moss Point
Half the homes in Moss Point were built by 1968, 81% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that age, many houses are on their second set of gutters or due for one, and the fascia board behind them is worth checking at the same visit. On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
75% of households own their home, and 88% of homes are detached houses, 3% townhouses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
