Local housing stock
Roughly 4,744 of Brunswick's 7,490 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1977; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1977 with nearly two thirds of the stock older, the houses stand among mature hardwoods, so every gutter, valley and low-slope junction on them takes a heavy load of leaf fall once a year.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Brunswick have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 11.9 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in October at 6 inches of an annual 50.01; both figures recorded at BRUNSWICK NAS, 1 miles away. October is the wettest month at 6 inches of a 50-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain of the year and the whole of the leaf fall arrive in the same four weeks, and the freeze follows a few weeks behind.
How water losses tend to end in Brunswick
- Gutters loading up in the month they carry the most, so the two coincide rather than alternate
- Debris left in place when the freeze arrives, so the blockage is locked in for the winter
- Water going over the back of the gutter, so it lands at the wall rather than being carried away
