Stormwater Remediation

We begin with a site visit to your location. We measure and photograph your buildings and grounds and assess how and where stormwater drains. We also discuss what level of intervention is right for you. If you are considering a rain garden, we will perform a percolation test, measuring the length of time it takes for a measured volume of water to infiltrate your soil. (This is critical to calculating the volume of water a rain garden can handle.)

Back at the lab, we develop scale drawings or 3D models and begin to create a plan. Depending on the interventions you want, we design a plan that could include:

• Rain chains
• Gutter extenders
• Rain barrels
• Above-ground rain gardens
• In-ground rain gardens
• Raised bed gardens

Once you approve the plan, we come to your site and install your remediation solution. In-ground rain gardens include four maintenance visits per year for three years.

The rain garden we installed at Riverzedge Arts’ 2nd Avenue facility covers some 800 square feet and can infiltrate several thousands of gallons during major rain events. Please visit us in Woonsocket to see it for yourself.
