WATER MANAGEMENT
Managing water flow can make a significant impact on enhancing a structure’s surrounding environment and protecting your property. As a building or home owner, it’s important to realize the system options available to you that can aid your roof in more effectively managing water run-off.
Water Management Systems:
-
Cistern: Stormwater runoff cisterns are roof water management devices that provide retention storage volume in above or underground storage tanks. They are typically used for water supply. On-lot storage with later reuse of stormwater also provides an opportunity for water conservation and the possibility of reducing water utility costs.
-
Vegetative: The system provides exceptional stormwater retention and absorption. The vegetation captures and holds the rainwater, which is water released slowly through evapotranspiration by the plants.
-
Ballast: Prevent damage and better control water distribution through Ballasted Roof Assemblies that significantly reduce the speed at which water can flow off the roof and enter the storm drains.
-
Guttering: Gutters manage where the water collected from your roof flows to. Properly installed, they direct water to areas that can handle the discharge without damaging your property or the property of others.
