Tips for Choosing Rainwater Drainage Systems

Maintaining a property, especially if it’s an older or period property, can sometimes feel like a real logistical challenge. As well as cosmetic maintenance, ensuring that interiors are well painted etc, there are lots of additional things you need to think about – not least you need to think carefully about suitable rainwater drainage systems, considering the effectiveness of these systems as well as the aesthetic of each specific water drainage solution.

Why do we have rainwater systems? One of the biggest threats to any property, new or old, is the threat from moisture. After periods of adverse weather, such as some very heavy rain, water can become a real problem, causing issues such as rising damp and even more serious issues of structural damage.

Gutters and downpipes will siphon water away from the home, which would otherwise settle on roof spaces etc and cause numerous problems.

When you’re choosing rainwater drainage solutions you have a few options. For example, you could choose cast iron drains, which are highly durable and suitable for period properties where there might be specific aesthetic considerations.

If you’re lucking for something more affordable and easy to install then you might opt for a modern system made out of PVCu. You might also consider rainwater systems that are made out of aluminium, which is a kind of middle ground between the two.
