We respond to storm damage emergencies 24/7 in Lane County.

Our local teams in South Eugene and Florence respond to storm damage emergencies from heavy rain events every year. Rain barrels are a simple and effective way to manage excess water and prevent water intrusion issues around your home. By capturing rainwater from your gutters, rain barrels reduce the amount of runoff that can seep into your home’s foundation or flood low-lying areas.

Installing a rain barrel is easy and affordable. Position it beneath a downspout to catch rainwater from your roof. Many rain barrels come with overflow systems, ensuring excess water is redirected away from your home when the barrel is full. This setup helps prevent the soil around your foundation from becoming saturated and causing leaks.

Using collected rainwater can also benefit your garden and landscaping. It’s a sustainable way to keep your plants hydrated without increasing your water bill. Check your rain barrel regularly to ensure it’s clean and properly functioning. Remove debris from the barrel and gutter system to maintain efficiency.

With a rain barrel system, you can protect your home from potential water damage while also conserving water—making it an eco-friendly and practical solution for homeowners.
