Art,

I have not used it yet but it is another option when it comes to controlling run off. We normally wash out the gutters with our pvc gutter cane(s) during and after our process. We have several gutter canes in various lengths up to 12'. 95% of the time the roof is dry before we leave.

We use them all the time. Here is the ones we get http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=37732&catid=703 Dave from Roof Refresh turned me on to these.

We use them too. I love the way you can divert the solution. We carry a small collapsable shovel when they are under ground and dig out the end of the pipe.

Next year I will be carying a roll of this stuff in my truck. Better safe then sorry. I will be writing on the invoice that it needs to stay on the leader for 40 days

We use them. made the mistake of paying $20 for 50'. its just 6 mill plastic tubing. If your going to leave it there untill the first rain how are you going to keep it in place without it blowing around in the wind?

Art O · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Put a rock or steak in the End of it. Besides when it rains it will just roll out straight

Patrick G · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I think he means the wind will blow it where you don't want it to go. I think the stake is a good idea.

Art O · Approved Exterior Cleaner

If it is zip tied to the elbow. Its not going anywhere. The weight of the water will open it up.

DirtyRoofcom · Approved Exterior Cleaner

art thats what i bought originally and still have it. If you rinse - these work great if you can find a place to run it to. Just look up 6mil poly tubing you can get it MUCH cheaper. Any online packaging place has it

50FT EXTENSION TUBING - GREEN

Larger homes tend to require more drainage from runoff water from further away. The Rainguard™ 50 foot Gutter Extension Tubing in green attaches easily to any standard downspout, and expels water well away.

I'm not looking to run long distance. Just looking to direct the run off away from the shrubs when I leave the jobs. Had to kills this year. The first one the homeowner put a drain tube into the bush. The second one dumped her mothers ash's into the bush and I came along and watered her in. They were both my kills.

Art either way you use it check these prices i quickly found 1000' for $100 can probably find it cheaper if you look around

Have any of you guys used these rain drain tunnels this past season?

Liberty SoftWash · PWS Vender

I have but I still like the gutter cane.

Mario · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Yes I use it when it's needed

We used them and a gutter cane all season. We leave the rain drains on for two weeks if the downspout dumps out at the base of a shrub. We inform the customer why we are doing it and they have no problem throwing it away.

Jeff Thompson · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I've always just flooded the area and used Plant Wash. Haven't been called back (knock on wood) for any dead shrubs. However, I do like the idea of these rain drains and will buy a roll.

Question: If the drain dumps onto a shrub and there is nothing but nice green grass surrounding the house, where do you divert it to? Do you ask the customer what's more important....her shrubs or her grass?

Roof Cleaning Virginia · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Sod is cheaper than the majority of bushes.

John Aloisio · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Grass seed is cheaper than shrubs

Art O · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Using lots of the Homeowners water is cheaper then anything!

I've been using these for a long time now. I tell the customer they can remove it after a good rain.
