Rainwater Harvesting & Gutter Installation

Complete rainwater harvesting setups – gutters, tanks, filters, and pumps – for sustainable water supply.

Overview

Kenya’s rainy seasons bring a valuable resource that too often goes to waste. Dalo Plumbing Solutions helps you capture and store rainwater efficiently with professionally installed gutter systems and rainwater harvesting setups. For homes, schools, and businesses in Nairobi and surrounding areas, rainwater harvesting provides an independent water supply for irrigation, cleaning, flushing toilets, and even drinking with proper filtration. Our integrated service covers everything from roof gutters to storage tanks and pumps. We install seamless aluminium gutters, PVC gutters, and box gutters tailored to your roof profile. Our team calculates the correct gutter size and slope based on your roof area and local rainfall intensity to prevent overflowing and sagging. We also fit leaf guards and first‑flush diverters that keep debris and the dirtiest first rain out of your storage tank. Downpipes are neatly routed to a collection tank, with overflow directed to a soak pit or storm drain. The harvested water is stored in UV‑resistant plastic tanks or masonry tanks, often placed on a sturdy base. We connect the tank to a pump and filtration system that can supply water to garden taps, toilet cisterns, or the whole house through a dedicated header tank. Our rainwater systems comply with local guidelines, ensuring there’s no cross‑connection with the municipal supply. Beyond new installations, we repair and unblock existing gutters, replace rusted sections, and realign sagging runs that cause water to spill onto walls. This service is especially popular before the long rains when homeowners want to avoid damp walls and foundation erosion. We also upgrade old roof drainage to feed into a new tank, turning a previously wasted resource into a daily asset. With growing water scarcity and rising utility costs, a rainwater harvesting system is one of the smartest investments a property owner can make. Dalo Plumbing makes the process straightforward and affordable, from the initial roof assessment to the first drop of stored rain.
