Storm Water Drainage Solutions

Storm water is the name given to rainwater, and any other water that travels along with it. Its very presence, and possible re-uses, have very important ecological, and environmental effects on our day-to-day living. Heavy rainfall, particularly during the winter season, combined with snowfall, can cause devastating destruction, and cause everyone involved to do some very costly repairs. In our urban areas, storm water is generated by rain that runs off roofs, roads, driveways and even water from washing your vehicles.

Unlike sewage its not treated before it reaches general waterways such as, rivers, and the sea. Managing storm water using devices such as water butts, means this water can be used over, and over to water lawns and plants, maybe even wash the soap off your car! Ensuring that all your drains and drainage systems are clear, and free from any blockages, will hopefully mean that when the heavens do open, everything should work as it should. Simple drain covers to prevent leaves, and other debris from blocking the drains, is a very effective, and low cost way of ensuring this.
