Right-Size Your Tank Before You Buy
Little Rock gets about 50 inches of rain a year. Most of it falls in spring. A properly sized tank fills fast then and carries you through summer.
Steel tanks hold up longer over time. Plastic tanks cost less upfront and resist rust.
We measure your roof and talk through your water goals before we recommend a size. That way you buy the right tank once.
Prep a Level, Legal Site for Your Tank
Large tanks need a flat, compacted base or a concrete slab underneath. This keeps thousands of pounds of water stable and level. Small tanks can sit on gravel or a paver pad instead.
Arkansas law allows homeowners to collect rainwater. You won't run into permit trouble here.
We walk your yard with you and pick a spot that drains well and holds the tank safely.
Why Little Rock Homeowners Hire a Licensed Plumber
Backflow prevention keeps rainwater separate from your home's drinking water. This step protects your family and keeps the system code-compliant.
Little Rock inspectors expect proper drain slope and secure fittings on every job. We build to that standard on every install, not just when someone's watching.
Know What's Safe to Drink and Store
A sealed, dark tank keeps untreated rainwater fresh for several weeks. Light and heat speed up bacteria growth, so we install tanks that block both.
Safe uses for untreated rainwater:
- Watering your garden or lawn
- Washing outdoor tools or equipment
- Filling a pond or rain barrel feature
Keep Your Tank Clean and Overflow-Ready
Regular care keeps your system working through every dry season. We recommend:
- Clean filters and screens once a year
- Deep-clean the tank every one to three years
- Check overflow lines before spring rains start
- Watch for algae growth during Little Rock's humid summers

Why Local Matters
For Your Plumbing
Why Local Matters
For Your Plumbing
You could call a big national chain. They'll probably charge you more and send someone who doesn't know Little Rock. Local plumbers understand that homes in Pulaski Heights have different plumbing than new builds in West Little Rock. They know which neighborhoods have older plumbing prone to mineral buildup and which areas tend to have foundation shifts that affect plumbing.
When you call a local company, you get someone who answers the phone and can usually tell you right away what's probably happening and when they can get there. No automated system. No waiting on hold for 20 minutes.
Response times are better too. A local plumber is 15 minutes away, not coming from another city. If you've got a burst pipe or sewage backing up, those minutes matter. Plus, local companies know the city inspectors, understand Little Rock's specific codes, and can get permits processed faster. When you need plumbing work done right and done quickly, local is the way to go.
