By heavy-rain days, Mount Pleasant falls near the middle of the 142 places in Utah on this site (2.3 a year). By the age of its homes it sits 25th oldest by median year built of the 142 places in Utah on this site (half built by 1980). By first frost it falls 17th earliest for the first fall frost of the 142 places in Utah on this site (September 25).
When to clean gutters in Mount Pleasant
The first fall frost comes around September 25 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around May 26 (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 Mount Pleasant rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Mount Pleasant the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 3.13 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 1). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 2,300 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 4,600, 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.
Mount Pleasant averages about 106 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals). Snow on a roof brings ice dams: heat escaping from the house melts the snow, and the water refreezes at the cold eave, in the gutter and over it. University of Minnesota Extension puts the cause in the attic, not in the gutter, so a gutter that fills with ice is a symptom; hangers spaced to carry ice and a sound fascia are what the gutter itself needs.
The houses in Mount Pleasant
Half the homes in Mount Pleasant were built by 1980, 50% 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. 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.
77% of households own their home, and 89% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
