When to clean gutters in Seabrook
The first fall frost comes around December 14 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around January 31 (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.

Gutter and downspout size for Seabrook rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Seabrook the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.75 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 670 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,340, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
