When to clean gutters in South Lebanon
The first fall frost comes around October 18 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 23 (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.

Gutter and downspout size for South Lebanon rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In South Lebanon the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.03 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,020 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,050, 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 South Lebanon
Half the homes in South Lebanon were built by 2004, 38% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Most houses here are young enough to have their first gutters, so cleanings, guards and small leaks come up more than replacements.
78% of households own their home, and 76% of homes are detached houses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
