When to clean gutters in Plum Grove
The first fall frost comes around November 20 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 7 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.
When to clean gutters explains how the trees over a roof change the schedule.
Gutter and downspout size for Plum Grove rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Plum Grove the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.25 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 700 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,400, 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.
