That's easy to fix!  Just strap the PVC to some EMT!

PS:  With PVC you can't ignore thermal expansion effects.  (Not so familiar 
with EMT-- Is this also an issue?)  I don't ever figure any pipe, on a roof 
or underground, will stay dry.  And it's true, PVC can sag, it requires 
better support than EMT.
