When to clean gutters in Palm Coast

Gutter and downspout size for Palm Coast rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Palm Coast the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.14 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 1,420, 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.
