Running A Hose Over The Roof

The hose should be fitted with a nozzle set to its most powerful spray function.

Running a hose over the roof.

Use a soak n spray hose it puts out lots of very small streams down the length of the hose. The photo at the top of the page is one example of a upper gutter draining into a lower one neatly coming down tucked around the side wall and not calling attention to itself. This will save time and leave less of a mess than using a hose. If the vent pipe isn t installed properly the roof may leak through or around the pipe penetration leading to costly repairs.

Ours is installed at the peak of the roof and draining to both sides metal roof no. Remove the vent cover with the screwdriver and set it. Vent pipes provide this air by running outside the structure of the house. Use a power hose to blow out the leaves and dirt.

Turn the water on before you bring the hose onto the roof. This also helps to clean the caked up dirt along the inside and outside of the gutter.
