Is there a resource out there that I could use to help me design the gutters system for my house? I have a two-story home, about 40 x 34, plus two porches. Three sides of the house have sidewalks and a level grade away from the house. The back of the house has no sidewalk, and the ground slopes away from the house, so I would like to only put downspouts in the back of the house, if possible. Right now, the place just has gutters over the entryways, but I’d like to put them around the whole house to help keep the basement dry. I’ve heard a couple of rules of thumb so far, i.e. slope 1 inch for every 40 ft of gutter, but I’ve still got a ton of questions. Like, can I get away with just two downspouts, or do I need more? How big of downspouts do I need to handle the roof area? Is it OK to let water drip from the main roof down to the patio roof and then into the gutter? Etc. I was hoping to find one website or one book that would cover everything about placing gutters. Any ideas?
