Wet Summer Season Creating Challenging Conditions for Hawi Homeowners?
6/11/2024 (Permalink)
Aloha! When your home or business in Hawi has water intrusion issues, our Hawaii and Maui teams are on call and ready to respond to your emergency. Here are some ideas for preventing stormwater runoff and protecting your property:
Install Rain Gardens: Rain gardens are shallow depressions planted with native vegetation that help absorb and filter rainwater. By directing runoff into rain gardens, you can reduce water flow across your property and prevent erosion.
Use Permeable Paving: Replace traditional pavement with permeable materials such as gravel, porous concrete, or permeable pavers. These materials allow rainwater to seep into the ground instead of pooling on the surface, causing runoff.
Implement Swales and Berms: Swales are shallow ditches designed to channel and slow the flow of water, while berms are raised mounds of soil that help redirect runoff away from vulnerable areas. Strategic placement of swales and berms can help control runoff and protect your property from damage.
Plant Trees and Shrubs: Trees and shrubs help absorb water and stabilize soil, reducing erosion and runoff. Planting vegetation along slopes and in areas prone to runoff can help protect your property from damage caused by heavy rains.
