When to clean gutters in Texas City

Gutter and downspout size for Texas City rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Texas City the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.64 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 680 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,350, 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 Texas City
Half the homes in Texas City were built by 1981, 49% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that age, many houses are on their second set of gutters or due for one, and the fascia board behind them is worth checking at the same visit. On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
54% of households own their home, and 67% of homes are detached houses, 2% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
