When to clean gutters in West Vero Corridor

Gutter and downspout size for West Vero Corridor rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In West Vero Corridor the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.26 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). 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.
