Gutter and downspout size for Pottsville rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Pottsville the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.87 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 910 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,830, 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.
The houses in Pottsville
Half the homes in Pottsville were built by 2003, 18% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that young, many houses still have the gutters the builder put up, and the usual call is a cleaning, a leak or guards rather than a full replacement.
82% of households own their home, and 89% of homes are detached houses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
