When to clean gutters in New Smyrna Beach

Gutter and downspout size for New Smyrna Beach rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In New Smyrna Beach the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.09 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 710 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,430, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
