Stormwater Management
Are you dealing with damaging stormwater runoff that’s ruining your property, landscaping, or even invading your buildings? AquaReale offers expert stormwater management solutions tailored to your needs, ensuring you have water control that works for you—without the mess.
What is stormwater management?
Stormwater runoff is generated when precipitation from rain and snowmelt events flows over land or impervious surfaces and does not permeate into the ground.
As the runoff flows over the land or impervious surfaces (paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops), it accumulates debris, chemicals, sediment or other pollutants that could adversely affect water quality if the discharged runoff is untreated.
Our Stormwater Solutions May Include:
Retention Ponds:
Retention ponds capture and store excess rainwater, providing a long-term solution to prevent flooding and erosion while contributing to groundwater recharge.
Re-grading:
Re-grading reshapes your land to direct water flow away from vulnerable areas like foundations, walkways, and gardens, preventing water damage and promoting efficient drainage.
Rain Gardens:
Our rain gardens are designed to add beauty to your landscape while effectively absorbing and filtering excess rainwater. They reduce runoff and can create thriving ecosystems with native plants.
Rainwater Harvesting:
Capture and reuse rainwater for irrigation or other uses around your property. Rainwater harvesting systems help reduce water waste and provide a sustainable water source for your landscape.
French Drain Systems (Dry Wells):
French drains and dry wells direct excess surface water underground, preventing water from pooling on your property and reducing the risk of flooding.
Vegetative Berms:
Strategically placed raised areas of vegetation slow down water runoff and help prevent soil erosion. Berms also add an attractive, natural feature to your landscape.
Wildflower Meadows:
Wildflower meadows not only beautify your property, but they also improve water absorption and help reduce runoff while supporting local wildlife and pollinators.
Bioswales:
Bioswales use native vegetation to slow down and filter stormwater runoff, reducing the amount of debris and pollutants that enter the water system.
Do You Need Stormwater Management?
If your property is experiencing any of the following, it’s time to consider a stormwater management solution:
Flooded walkways or driveways after rain
Soggy or eroded landscaping
Water entering your basement or foundation
Large areas of standing water on your property
Uncontrolled stormwater runoff can cause a wide range of problems that affect both the built environment and the natural ecosystem. When precipitation falls on impervious surfaces such as roofs, driveways, and streets, it doesn’t soak into the ground but instead flows across these surfaces, accumulating speed and pollutants. Without proper management, this runoff can lead to severe property damage, environmental degradation, and even safety hazards. Runoff that is left unchecked can erode landscapes, flood basements, and foundations, contaminate water supplies, and overwhelm local drainage systems, leading to increased repair costs and long-term maintenance issues for homeowners and businesses.
Beyond property damage, unmanaged stormwater can contribute to water pollution, as it often carries chemicals, debris, and waste into local waterways, negatively impacting aquatic life and water quality. Addressing stormwater runoff is essential to preventing these costly and hazardous conditions, protecting both your property and the environment.
