When to clean gutters in Pleasant Grove
The first fall frost comes around October 25 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 17 (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 Pleasant Grove rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Pleasant Grove the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 3.37 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 1). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 2,140 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 4,270, 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.
Pleasant Grove averages about 41 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.
