A rain barrel captures the water your downspouts would otherwise send into the ground or storm drain and stores it for later use on your lawn, garden, or outdoor areas. We install the downspout connections directly to your existing system, sized to your property, and verify the setup drains properly and is ready for regular seasonal use.
Most homeowners purchase their preferred rain barrel separately and our team installs the downspout diverter, piping, and overflow routing so it connects properly to your eavestrough system.
For larger properties or homes with high rooftop runoff volume, a single barrel fills quickly during a GTA rainstorm. We connect downspouts to linked multi-barrel systems that expand your total storage capacity, giving you a meaningful water reserve through dry stretches in summer while helping manage overflow during heavy rain.
A properly installed diverter is what keeps your rain barrel working correctly without supervision. It redirects water into the barrel until it is full, then sends the overflow back through the downspout to the ground. We install and fit diverters that are compatible with your existing eavestrough and downspout profile.
Rain barrels need to be disconnected and drained before winter to prevent freezing damage. We recommend seasonal disconnection in fall and reconnection in spring, so your system is properly managed year-round.
Connecting a rain barrel to your eavestrough system takes more than drilling a hole in a downspout. Proper integration protects your drainage and maximizes water capture.
A rain barrel is only as effective as its connection to your downspout. Because we specialize in eavestrough and downspout systems, we route downpipe into rain barrels as part of your overall rainwater management setup, not as a standalone add-on that fights against your existing drainage.
An overflow that isn't properly directed causes the same foundation and soil erosion problems you were trying to avoid. We route overflow away from your home's foundation as part of every installation, so the system works correctly even during heavy GTA rainstorms.
From a single barrel on a detached home to a linked multi-barrel system on a larger residential or commercial property, we configure the proper downspout connection to match your roof area and intended water use.
Collected rainwater is un-chlorinated, soft, and free of the additives in municipal water, making it better for plants and reducing your reliance on tap water for outdoor use. During peak summer months, outdoor water use can account for a significant portion of your water bill. A properly sized rain barrel connection can help reduce that cost during the first season.
Every rainfall sends hundreds of litres off your roof and into the ground. A rain barrel puts that water to work in your garden and lawn instead of running it into the storm drain. Get a free estimate from Century Aluminum today.
