Expert Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Ashburn, VA

Rainwater harvesting systems collect and store rain that falls on your roof, then redirect it for non-potable uses like lawn irrigation, toilet flushing, and outdoor washing. Elements Home Remodeling designs and installs these systems for homes across Ashburn, VA, Fairfax, Reston, Leesburg, and the surrounding area. Northern Virginia receives roughly 44 inches of rainfall per year, making the region well-suited for capturing and reusing water at the residential level. A properly installed system routes water from your roof through collection channels into a storage tank, with filtration to keep the supply clean and usable. Virginia law supports residential rainwater harvesting, and non-potable systems do not require a construction permit from the state. Whether you want to cut your outdoor water use, reduce runoff from your property, or add a backup water source, a harvesting system is a practical upgrade.

Common questions about rainwater harvesting systems in Ashburn, VA.

Yes, rainwater harvesting is fully legal in Virginia and supported under state law. Residential non-potable systems in Ashburn do not require a construction permit from the state.

Harvested rainwater can be used for lawn and garden irrigation, toilet flushing, outdoor washing, and clothes washing. These non-potable uses are approved for residential properties across Fairfax and Ashburn.

The system collects rain from your roof, channels it through gutters and filters, and stores it in a tank for later use. Homes in Sterling, Reston, and Leesburg with standard rooflines are good candidates for this setup.

Mike and his team are THE BEST! They did a few projects for my home (new floors throughout, paint and a full kitchen remodel). The work was done on the timeline he estimated in the beginning and the kitchen is BEAUTIFUL. I had a tentative design made up with the woman from the cabinet store he referred me to. Mike ended up making some tweaks to the layout/design based on some conversations I had with him in the initial consultation that were spot on and so glad he recommended them. Needed some minor repairs/touch-ups when the work was done and he had his team over the next day to get it all taken care of. Even after the work was completed, I reached out with a question and he responded almost immediately. He is amazing, his team is amazing, and their work is on point.

Finally a honest contractor who does exactly what he says he will … same price as quoted, same time frame. Michael replaced my rotten deck posts and did a beautiful job. What more can a homeowner want?!?

They did a great job on our deck rebuild. Our old wood deck was rotting and leaning heavily and Elements tore it down and installed a fantastic looking Composite deck with new footings. Michael DelSontro was great to work with -- fast with communication and resolved any issues immediately (we had 1 or 2 riser boards come with dents/scratches and they replaced them immediately)

Elements Home Remodel repaired part of my roof. Mike was very helpful and responsive, and was able to get a crew out to make the repair in a very timely manner. The entire team was professional and easy to work with. They are dedicated to their company and to their workmanship. I am grateful for their hard work.

Michael DelSontro and his staff at Elements Home Remodeling did a wonderful job on our new roof. Michael worked hard for us, dealing with our insurance company and stayed steadfast in having everything approved and taken care of. They were able to do it all quickly, properly and efficiently. We can’t begin to thank Michael and his staff for all they have done for us!

I am an Interior Designer and have worked with Mike of Elements Home Remodeling on a few projects. He has been excellent in his communications, organized and reliable. He is one of many contractors I have worked with but one of only a handful I would continue to work with when it comes to a home remodel. Christa Style Savvy Designs

Elements Home Remodeling Did a wonderful job with the home remodeling of my deck board replacement. They gave me a great price and scheduled me right away. They tracked the job from start to finish keeping me aware of any updates along the way. A+ across the board for them and Michael!

John Fox Google review · July 2024

If you are looking for a home remodel, the only business you need to call is Elements Home Remodeling. They have repeatedly exceeded our expectations in terms of communication, price, timeliness, and quality of work. We worked with Mike; he listened to what we wanted, informed us of options, and did not pressure us. The work completed so far includes an entirely new roof, painting the master bedroom, and enclosing our loft to make it a third bedroom. This room was also painted. The quality of work for each of these projects is superior. Much to our delight, the roof was completed a week earlier than planned. We have heard many crazy stories about incomplete and subpar work, lack of communication, and nightmare experiences. Therefore, finding a home remodel company like Elements Home Remodeling has been excellent. Consequently, we will have them work on the exterior of our house next. Elements Home Remodeling, an affordable, reliable, and superior business, is the way to go!
