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. Ours is installed at the peak of the roof and draining to both sides metal roof no. The hose should be fitted with a nozzle set to its most powerful spray function. If the vent pipe isn t installed properly the roof may leak through or around the pipe penetration leading to costly repairs.

Vent pipes provide this air by running outside the structure of the house. Use a power hose to blow out the leaves and dirt. This will save time and leave less of a mess than using a hose. Use a soak n spray hose it puts out lots of very small streams down the length of the hose.

Remove the vent cover with the screwdriver and set it. Running a vent pipe out of the roof takes some careful preparation.
