We are leaders in storm damage mitigation and restoration services in San Bernardino County.

Our local Chino/Chino Hills team is on call and ready to respond to flooding emergencies 24 hours a day. Rain barrels are relatively simple and cost-effective tools for catching and redistributing stormwater runoff, offering several benefits in water conservation and stormwater management.

By capturing rainwater from rooftops via downspouts, rain barrels can reduce the runoff volume entering storm drains, alleviating pressure on municipal drainage systems and reducing the risk of localized flooding. Additionally, rain barrels provide a sustainable source of non-potable water for outdoor irrigation, reducing reliance on potable water sources and lowering water bills for homeowners.

Also, rain barrels help mitigate erosion and water pollution by intercepting rooftop contaminants, such as sediment, debris, and pollutants, before they can enter waterways. However, the efficiency of rain barrels is influenced by factors such as rainfall patterns, roof size, and barrel capacity.

Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning to prevent algae growth and mosquito breeding, is essential to ensure optimal performance and water quality. Rain barrels can be a valuable tool for homeowners and communities seeking to conserve water and manage stormwater runoff in an environmentally sustainable manner.
