Roofs can often be damaged because of the weather and because of the ever changing elements. Because of the damages, it can ruin the foundations of any home of commercial building. Instead of the water being concentrated in the roof, a system is developed in order to move water to various channels and other drainages which can easily decrease the force and the velocity of rainwater. Through the use of the drainage system, various particles and sediments will also be removed from the roof. Particles, such as pathogens and chemical remains can now be drained safely. Anything which flows in the storm area or the sewer system flows underneath drainage pipes and will not be passing in streams or lakes. Storm water can pose as a danger to both homes and health; therefore it should be treated properly. There are many ways to storm proof a home and all techniques are based on the use of various storm water management techniques.
How is storm water moved away from the property?
In order to reduce the quantity of water flowing in roofs, storm water management is applied. This management technique is found in various places, namely St. Pete, Fl 33704, North Carolina and in some other states. The water collected in storm water collectors are then drained to a downspout which either leads to a cistern or a drainpipe. Rain barrels are the most common ways to collect rain water since they reduce storm water runoff. Rain barrels can also be used as irrigation water for the use of lawn and for gardening. A typical rain battle has 40 to 80 gallons of space attached to the downspout of the roof. Homemade barrels cost around $125.
It is a well known fact that in storm water management, downspouts should be pointed away from grassy, planted or mulched areas. Home owners can just attach a French drain pipe and bury its end in soil in order to provide a better drainage. A 3 to 6 inch deep infiltration hole is placed under the drip line. After inserting the French line, gravel is added in order to decrease erosion.
Another technique applied in storm water management is through the use of rain garden. Rain gardens are small shallow depressions found in some homes which captures the storm water from the roof or driveway and moves the water to the ground. The ground is then soaked and will be drained after 2 � 5 days. The drainage is required to be placed in the rain garden so that any overflow from the barrels will be instantly redirected to the gardens. Rain gardens can be constructed for various residences which has problems with storm water. Along with the rain water, most home owners install swales in order to carry the water while reducing the concentration of rain water leaving the property. Swales are shallow depressions which are sloped and directed into the areas which can easily stand a strong influx or rainwater. There are some pipes designed to move a strong concentration of storm water to a backyard rain garden.
