Collecting rainwater is a practical way to cut your water use for gardens, lawns, and other outdoor needs — and Westchester gets plenty of rain to capture. But a rainwater system only pays off if it's plumbed properly, with the right connections and overflow handling.
We install and connect rainwater collection tanks so the system captures, stores, and delivers water reliably.
When to consider a rainwater tank
If you water a garden or lawn regularly, want to trim your water bill, or simply like the idea of using what falls on your roof, a rainwater tank is worth considering. It's especially appealing for larger properties with real outdoor water demand.
Choosing the right setup
Tank size should match your roof's collection potential and how you'll use the water. We help you plan the placement, connection to your gutters and downspouts, and an overflow route that protects your foundation, so the system fits your property.
Our installation process
We connect the tank to your gutter and downspout system, install the necessary plumbing to draw water for outdoor use, and set up proper overflow handling so excess water is directed safely away from the house. We test that it collects and delivers as intended.
The EPA's information on capturing and reusing water at home explains the benefits of collecting rainwater for outdoor use.
Cost factors
Cost depends on the tank size, placement, and how the plumbing connects to your gutters and outdoor spigots. We provide upfront pricing after planning the setup with you.
Keeping it working
Keep gutters and the tank inlet clear of leaves, check the overflow route stays clear, and drain or protect the system before hard winter freezes. A little seasonal upkeep keeps the water flowing.
Frequently asked questions
What can I use collected rainwater for?
Outdoor uses like watering gardens and lawns are the common ones. We plumb the system for reliable outdoor delivery.
How big a tank do I need?
It depends on your roof area and how much water you'll use. We help you size it to your property and needs.
Where does the overflow go?
We set up overflow handling that directs excess water safely away from your foundation — an important part of doing it right.
Does it need winter protection?
Yes, in this climate. We'll show you how to drain or protect the system before hard freezes so it isn't damaged.
Will it lower my water bill?
For outdoor water use, it can — you're using captured rain instead of treated tap water for the garden and lawn.
A rainwater system often ties into your outdoor faucets and spigots so it's worth having those in good shape too.
