Gutter and downspout size for White Hall rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In White Hall the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.52 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 960 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,910, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in White Hall
Half the homes in White Hall were built by 1952, 77% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Houses that age have often had their gutters replaced once already; if not, the original runs and the boards behind them deserve a close look. 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.
73% of households own their home, and 79% of homes are detached houses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
