Running A Hose Over The Roof

Some homeowners feel that a gutter running across a roof especially at the front elevation messes with the curb appeal of the house.

Running a hose over the roof.

Turn the water on before you bring the hose onto the roof. Vent pipes provide this air by running outside the structure of the house. If the vent pipe isn t installed properly the roof may leak through or around the pipe penetration leading to costly repairs. The hose should be fitted with a nozzle set to its most powerful spray function.

Use a power hose to blow out the leaves and dirt. Dumping bathroom exhaust into an attic or under roof space invites costly mold contamination frost under the roof in freezing climates moisture damage to roof sheathing possibly even plywood delamination or rot roof failures and shorter roof shingle life. 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.

Use a soak n spray hose it puts out lots of very small streams down the length of the hose. This will save time and leave less of a mess than using a hose.
