Rainwater Harvesting in Austin

Water Conservation Systems to Save Money & Planet

Central Texas is no stranger to drought. When precious rainwater is that scarce, wouldn’t it be great to collect it to use on your lawn during those long, dry months? If you’ve noticed in many Austin neighborhoods, many people are doing just that – by installing rain barrels near their rain gutters to collect rain. But how do you distribute the rainwater once it’s collected?

1st Home & Commercial Services has the solution – install an integrated water harvesting and distribution system. These systems not only conserve water, they also improve irrigation and landscape management – a positive double whammy.

Rainwater harvesting actually pays you back by:

Reducing water bills
Helping you qualify for any available city, state and federal rebates and tax incentives

The 1st Home & Commercial Services team is experienced in each phase of making one of these systems a reality for you – from design and configuration to installation and testing. We work closely with clients to design a customized system that maximizes water conservation and irrigation management. We install integrated water harvesting systems that incorporate a rainwater collection system with a pump control to disperse water automatically as programmed. Centralized controls enable efficient management of irrigation systems.

To see if rainwater harvesting is a good idea for your property, give us a call today at (512) 957-2992.

Sustainable Living Solutions that Impact our Community

We configure and install state-of-the-art John Deere Green Tech water harvesting systems to harness water power and reduce energy use. Central irrigation controls and wireless technology ensure installation, management and maintenance is even more efficient. We’ll even coordinate with your landscape designer to improve the performance of the irrigation system, from the ground up.

In a nutshell, a water harvesting system is environmentally smart!

Alleviates demand on municipal water systems
Avoids strict watering schedules
Nutrient-rich rainwater is more beneficial to your landscape than municipal water
Reduces exposure to chemicals
Reduces fertilizer use

Is Rainwater Harvesting Expensive?

After the initial installation costs, rainwater harvesting is relatively inexpensive. If you plan to use the water for in home use, it will have to be treated, otherwise the other major expense is the collection components. Home and business owners can enjoy lower utility bills with the installation of these systems and a little help from Mother Nature.

Rainwater harvesting systems vary in size, but most systems are above ground, as underground systems tend to be more expensive due to excavation expenses. All systems contain the same basic parts. These include a catchment surface, conveyance system, storage, distribution, and treatment components.

We would love the opportunity to meet with you and discuss how a rainwater harvesting system can help you and/or your business conserve water and save money. Give us a call today or contact us online to get started!

“Nathan is the best - great rates and fast service”
Nathan came to our home within 2 hours of our call for help - and it was a holiday weekend!!! He was thoughtful, polite, explained our issue and provided upfront and reasonable pricing. He was very knowledgeable and was able to unclog our "poorly angled" sewer line and get us back up and running again. I'm so glad my neighbor referred 1st Home and Commercial Services to us. Best service around!! Thank you Nathan - I will be telling everyone I know.
