The ground-level clear at this rowhouse on the 1200 block of U Street SE, Anacostia, Washington, DC 20020 found the trouble is up in the roofline trough itself — sagging seams and standing water at the roof edge — the credentialed elevated-work job the ground rung routes to. Standard: Second-story/roofline gutter cleaning and repair on a rowhouse — credentialed crew, anchored fall protection, per OSHA 1926 Subpart M ladder/fall-protection practice. Proof: fall-protection photo + before/after photos + flow-test + GPS Method (Second-story/roofline gutter cleaning and repair on a rowhouse — credentialed crew, anchored fall protection, per OSHA 1926 Subpart M fall-protection practice, ~90-180 min): 1. ASSESS: set up and inspect the ladder/anchor point per OSHA 1926 Subpart M before any climb; photograph the gutter's condition (sag, disconnected hangers, leaks) from the ground first. 2. With fall protection anchored, clear debris from the gutter trough and downspout head; check hanger spacing and pitch toward the downspout. 3. Reseal joints, replace failed hangers/sections, and re-pitch the run so it drains fully to the downspout. 4. Flow-test with water from the roof edge and confirm no leaks at seams/joints; photograph the completed run. 5. Descend, stow equipment, and photograph the finished gutter from the ground vantage matching the before photo. Equipment: anchored fall-arrest harness + ladder rated for the height (site PPE), gutter scoop/trowel + bucket, gutter sealant or replacement hanger/section as needed, camera Done when: Anchored fall protection used for the full duration of elevated work; Gutter trough clear, properly pitched and draining fully to the downspout; Flow-test photo/video showing no leaks at seams or joints; Before/after ground-vantage photos
