Rain Barrel Installation

What This Service Involves

Rain barrels put the Pacific Northwest's abundant rainfall to work – capturing roof runoff for reuse watering gardens and beds during drier stretches. We install barrels at your downspouts with proper overflow routing, screening to keep out debris and mosquitoes, and spigots or connections for easy use. Beyond saving water and lowering bills, rainwater collection reduces runoff load on your drainage and gives your plants chlorine-free water they prefer.
