Running A Garden Hose Over The Roof

A sun damaged tube can develop kinks and bulged areas that look like a snake swallowing an orange.

Running a garden hose over the roof.

From there work in small sections to scoop up debris along gutters and downspouts then drop the waste into a bucket or onto a tarp below. I got this working as follows. Clogs are clear if you can run garden hose water from the roof to the ground below. If you re not comfortable performing any of these steps hiring a good licensed plumber could save you money in the long run.

Thread a 15 pounds per square inch psi. Tie the top to the siding or fascia and the bottom to the siding so it can t slip out while you re on the ladder. The top of the ladder should extend 2 or 3 feet beyond the roof line. Be sure to call in a roofing or gutter professional for more stubborn clogs or if you re uncomfortable on a ladder.

To check for a cleared line insert the garden hose down into the roof vent opening ask a helper on the ground to turn on the water and watch to see if water seems to be flowing freely into the main drain. Over time the ultra violet rays of the sun can also damage and disintegrate a garden hose. My dad always kept them under cover when not in use by placing them beneath a small disc shape platform.
