Transforming your home into an eco-friendly and sustainable haven can start right in your own backyard and with one simple step: rainwater harvesting. Houses built in remote areas have long been harvesting rain for a variety of uses. It’s a useful source of water perfect for keeping your gardens watered, your toilets flushed and your home clean. Some installations even include a filtration system to allow rainwater to become potable. Whatever your goal is, it’s a worthwhile project that can save you a lot of money on water bills in the long run.
Rainwater harvesting starts with an effective rainwater flow control system, i.e. your roof and your gutters. Let our rain gutter guards specialists at Gutter Helmet® of Eastern Shore walk you through the basics of rainwater harvesting.
Clogged Gutters
Fallen leaves, tree branches and other debris are notorious for blocking your gutters. If you’re aiming to harvest rainwater, you certainly don’t want organic matter contaminating your source. Filters are great at clearing away mechanical pollutants but you will need something additional equipment such as a UV-C germicidal lamp to get rid of bacterial contaminants. Moreover, clogged gutters and downspouts are not as effective at collecting water as their non-clogged counterparts.
Gutter Protection Systems
Gutter Helmet is, put simply, a cover for your gutters. It’s designed to keep foreign objects such as leaves and branches out of the troughs while keeping water flow at a maximum. This greatly improves the performance of your gutters, allowing you to harvest more rainwater for your home.
