A Farm Town That's Growing Fast
Richlands sits about 12 miles northwest of Jacksonville. A post office has operated here since 1806, the town was incorporated in 1880, and the name comes from the area's rich soil. The Richlands Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the town is home to the Onslow County Museum.
It's also changing quickly. The town's population grew from 1,520 in 2010 to 2,287 in 2020, about 50% in ten years. That means a mix of older homes in town, new houses in recent subdivisions, and rural properties on larger lots in the surrounding countryside.
Gutters for Every Kind of Richlands Property
Older homes in town. Houses in and around the historic downtown have often had their gutters replaced or patched more than once. It's worth checking the fascia behind them for soft wood before new gutters go up. Seamless gutters in a color matched to the trim are a common choice.
New subdivisions. Newer homes sometimes come with gutters on only part of the house. Adding gutters to the rest of the roofline and extending downspouts away from new foundations is a common project.
Manufactured homes. Mobile and manufactured homes make up roughly 12% of Onslow County's housing. They can take gutters, but the roof edge is often built differently than a site-built home's. Ask the contractor how the gutters will attach and how they'll support the weight of water and debris.
Shops, barns, garages and carports. A gutter on an outbuilding stops roof water from splashing mud onto siding, eroding the ground along the wall, and flooding the doorway. A pro can also plan runs that feed a rain barrel or tank.
Wells, Septic and Where the Water Goes
Many rural homes around Richlands use a private well and a septic system instead of town water and sewer. That changes how downspouts should be planned:
- Keep roof water away from the drainfield. The EPA advises keeping roof drains and other rainwater drainage away from your septic drainfield. A saturated drainfield can't treat wastewater properly.
- Don't let water pool around the wellhead. Direct downspouts so runoff doesn't collect near your well.
- Tell the contractor where your tank, drainfield and well are before they plan downspout locations. See downspouts and drainage.
Weather Out Here
Richlands is inland, so salt air isn't the concern it is on the sound, but the rain is the same. The Jacksonville area averages roughly 56 to 59 inches a year (NOAA 1991–2020 normals), and tropical storms bring heavy rain well inland. Open farm country also means wind has fewer trees to slow it down, so solid hangers and fasteners matter. Where homes do sit near tree lines, pine needles and leaves are the usual cause of clogs, and gutter guards can help.
