Rain Collection Systems

With a rain collection system, there is no need to put your gardening or landscaping plans on hold.

For every inch of rain that falls hundreds to thousands of gallons of water flow from your downspouts. That water easily can be retained for use in your garden, flower beds, on the lawn or in the pool.

A rain collection system from Best Home Services is a system that is custom-designed for your home and circumstances to meet your watering needs and your budget. A simple idea used around the world throughout history to provide fresh, clean, chemical-free, and pH balanced water to landscaping.

Installed under a downspout, a 60 gallon barrel can be used several ways:

to fill watering cans or buckets
to water beds or lawns with a soaker hose
to water individual plantings with a custom-designed drip hose

Every collection barrel and tank has a screened top which keeps mosquitoes, animals, leaves and debris out of your water. They have brass faucets on the front near the bottom so you can easily hook up a garden hose. During installation, an overflow outlet is added and built to send the excess rain water away from your foundation.

Most people are truly amazed at how quickly their barrels fill. A 60 gallon barrel on most downspouts will refill from only a half-inch of rain or less. To figure how much water pours off of your roof from one inch of rain, simply measure the "footprint" of your house in square feet and multiply that number by .6. Even the 1000 square foot roof of a small home can provide 600 gallons of clean, free water from one inch of rain. You can collect the excess rain with multiple barrels or small tanks.

With an assessment of your home, we can determine which downspouts will provide the most water and which locations would be ideal for collecting and distributing the water.
