Rainwater Harvesting

Clear Drains 4 U specialises in supplying and installing rainwater recycling tanks in homes and businesses throughout Colchester and Essex.

Rainwater harvesting is an innovative and sustainable practice that involves collecting and storing rainwater for future use. This method harnesses rainwater from rooftops, land surfaces, or other catchment areas, directing it into storage tanks, cisterns, or aquifers. Water that has been harvested and filtered by the appropriate equipment – and that would have otherwise run straight into a drain – can be fed into your property and used to flush toilets, water plants, power water features and more.

For most properties, we will install a rainwater harvesting tank in an appropriate underground location. The tank will be fitted with a harvesting pump that will supply a direct feed to your taps, toilet cisterns and other parts of your water system. And if the water in the tank runs dry, it will be topped up with water from your mains, so you won’t ever need to worry about not being able to flush your toilet or wash your hands.

We also help businesses in Essex reduce their mainline water consumption and operate in a more environmentally friendly way by installing cost-effective rainwater recycling systems underground at their commercial premises. Commercial rainwater harvesting systems can save you a great deal on wastewater charges from your mainline supplier, and these innovative setups will almost certainly pay for themselves over the course of their decades-long lifespan.

Environmentally friendly

Rainwater harvesting systems allow you to do your bit for your planet by recycling natural rainwater instead of pulling fresh water through from the mains. Install a water recycling tank, and you could reduce your annual water consumption by as much as 50%!

Innovative systems

There are a range of rainwater harvesting systems on the market, including those that are suitable for home and business use. Our engineers will assess your property, then propose a solution that meets your requirements and your budget.

Super filtration

Today’s rainwater harvesting systems offer industrial-grade filtration technology that treats the water before it enters the storage tank by removing leaves and sediment. This ensures the water is fully usable before it enters your property.

Conservation compliant

The government’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) enables companies to offset the cost of their harvesting installation against their corporation tax bill. If your system qualifies, we can help you complete all the necessary paperwork and make your claim.

What is a rainwater soakaway?

Rainwater soakaways (also known as surface water soakaways) are a smart rainwater drainage solution for homes and businesses. Essentially ground pits for rainwater, they help manage undrained rainfall and are often required by Building Regulations for new homes.

If you are considering installing a soakaway at your home, office, warehouse, school or other commercial premises, speak to the team here at Clear Drains 4 U. We have decades of combined experience in designing, supplying and maintaining soakaways for all kinds of developments, and can carry out simple tests to determine which size storage cell will meet your requirements.

All our commercial soakaways are installed under BRE Digest 365 guidance and in accordance with Part H drainage and waste disposal regulations. Read more about our soakaways here.
