Expert Service

Rain Barrel Installation in Southeast Michigan

A rain barrel system connects to your existing downspouts to capture and store rainwater that would otherwise run off your property. That stored water is perfect for watering gardens, lawns, and landscaping — reducing your municipal water usage and your water bill. In Michigan, a single 1-inch rainfall on a 1,000 sq ft roof produces over 600 gallons of runoff.

Well Hung Gutters LLC installs rain barrel systems that integrate cleanly with your existing gutter and downspout setup. We position the barrel, modify the downspout with a diverter, and ensure overflow is directed safely away from your foundation. Systems can be expanded with multiple barrels for larger storage capacity.

Rain barrels also help manage stormwater runoff — reducing the volume of water that flows across your lawn and into storm drains during heavy rain events. We travel up to 150 miles from Brownstown to serve homeowners across Michigan.

Common Questions

Rain Barrel Installation — Frequently Asked Questions

How much water can a rain barrel collect?
A standard 55-gallon rain barrel fills quickly — a 1-inch rainfall on a 1,000 sq ft roof produces over 600 gallons of runoff. Most homeowners install 2–4 barrels connected in series to capture more water before overflow kicks in.
Is rainwater harvesting legal in Michigan?
Yes. Michigan has no restrictions on residential rainwater harvesting for outdoor irrigation use. Rain barrels are legal and encouraged as a stormwater management practice.
Can I use rain barrel water for drinking or cooking?
No. Rainwater collected from rooftops picks up contaminants from shingles, gutters, and the atmosphere. It's suitable for outdoor irrigation only — not for drinking, cooking, or bathing.
What happens to the rain barrel in winter?
Rain barrels must be drained and disconnected before the first hard freeze in Michigan — typically late October or early November. We can show you how to winterize the system during installation.
Do I need to clean my gutters more often with a rain barrel?
Yes. Debris from clogged gutters can enter the barrel and clog the spigot or introduce contaminants. We recommend pairing a rain barrel with gutter guards or committing to regular gutter cleaning.
