This may be a cheery prospect, but water conservation will be a priority, and with the prospect of little rainfall, what rainwater there is could run off roofs through the soakaway system to be lost.

Leading emergency plumbing and drain repair service Drain Doctor Plumbing has come up with a solution; offering rainwater harvesting systems as part of its plumbing and drainage services.

Homeowners will be able to collect and use rainwater and re-use ‘grey’ waste water from sinks and baths, helping to save money and conserve water.

Drain Doctor’s Robin Banks explained: “Rainwater runoff from the roof can be collected and used to fill water butts, supply garden taps or be pumped indoors for flushing toilets or watering the garden. Grey water from sinks, washing machines and dishwashers can also be used to flush toilets.”

This is just one more in an expanding portfolio of products which Drain Doctor franchisees can offer their customers.
