The installation process
We start by looking at your roof's drainage, existing gutters and downspouts, and where a tank could realistically sit on your property. From there, we connect the tank to your gutter system, install an overflow line so excess water has somewhere safe to go, and set up the outlet for however you plan to use the collected water.
If you want the water plumbed to an outdoor spigot or irrigation line rather than drawn manually, we handle that connection too, and test the full system before we finish.
What affects the cost
Tank size is the biggest factor, followed by how much plumbing work is involved in connecting it to your gutters and to any outdoor fixtures you want it feeding. A simple gravity-fed setup for garden watering is less involved than a system plumbed to an irrigation line.
We'll walk your property with you, talk through what you're trying to accomplish, and give you a clear price before we start.
Rainwater collection on larger Westchester lots
A good number of Armonk properties, and homes throughout Bedford, Pleasantville, and the rest of our Westchester service area, sit on larger lots with real gardens and landscaping to maintain. That makes rainwater collection a genuinely useful option, not just a nice idea — it takes pressure off municipal or well water use during the parts of the season when your garden needs it most.
If you want a deeper look at how a home system works before committing to one, this rainwater collection overview covers the basics well. We're happy to talk through what makes sense specifically for your property once you've got a general idea of what you want.
Keeping your system running well
A rainwater tank needs occasional attention — clearing debris from the gutter connection, checking the overflow line stays clear, and making sure the tank is sealed against pests. Getting the installation right the first time keeps most of this to a minimum.
If you're also dealing with fixing a leaking outdoor faucet elsewhere on your property, it's worth mentioning when you schedule so we can look at both while we're there.
When to call a pro
Call us if you're ready to add a rainwater tank, your existing system isn't draining or connecting properly, or you want to expand a setup you already have. This isn't a job to guess at — a poorly connected overflow line can send water somewhere on your property you don't want it.
If you're also interested in installing a water softener system or a whole-home water filtration setup for the water coming into your house, we handle those too.

Frequently asked questions
What size rainwater tank do I need?
It depends on your roof size, how much of your gutter system you're capturing, and what you plan to use the water for. We'll help you figure out a size that makes sense for your property.
Can I connect a rainwater tank to my outdoor faucet?
Yes, we can plumb the tank's outlet to feed an outdoor spigot or irrigation line if that's how you want to use the water.
Is collected rainwater safe to drink?
These systems are designed for outdoor use like gardening and landscaping, not for drinking water. We'll talk through the intended use during your installation.
Do I need a permit for a rainwater tank in Armonk?
Requirements can depend on tank size and how it's plumbed. We'll let you know what applies to your specific setup.
Will a rainwater tank overflow during heavy storms?
A properly installed system includes an overflow line that directs excess water safely away from the tank, so it won't back up during heavy rain.
How much maintenance does a rainwater tank need?
It's fairly low-maintenance — mostly keeping debris out of the gutter connection and checking the overflow periodically.
