Storm Water Retention

Creating storm water retention facilities in your property is necessary because it prevents flooding and protects the structure’s foundation from damage. An efficient water retention facility should be capable of managing the volume of water during a heavy rainfall or storm. This involves engineered systems and features, such as a retention pond for treating and cleaning polluted surface runoff. It is important to manage storm water, especially in urban areas where the runoff can be a potential flood risk. If you do not have these facilities at your home or commercial property, it is advisable to install one and hire a professional contractor.

Adam Nash Enterprise, Inc. is a full-service contractor that specializes in installing storm water retention facilities. Our well-experienced team continues to provide stellar water retention applications throughout the State of Tennessee, particularly in Wilson and Davidson counties. Storm water is not merely water coming from storms or rainfall - it involves all water from any occurred precipitation like snowfall and over-watering. Surface runoffs can become health and safety risks and pose harm to the environment. We fully understand these concerns, so we carefully design and build your facility to ensure that it is functioning properly and efficiently.

Reliable Storm Water Retention Facilities

Our company designs reliable storm water retention facilities. With careful planning, efficient design, and use of durable materials, we guarantee a fail-safe, engineered facility that effectively manages storm water runoffs, controls flow rates and removes pollutants. Also, our storm water facility helps protect water quality as we incorporate features that discard or filter sediments, toxic compounds, and excess nutrients.

The storm water retention facilities that we may build include ponds, underground tanks, vaults, filters, rain gardens, and ditches. These engineered systems are specifically designed to detain, treat, keep, and then slowly seep storm water runoff into the ground or downstream.

Types of Storm Water Retention

There are several types of storm water retention facilities that can be built in your property. However, choosing the right design is very important. Here are some of your options:

Retention Ponds. These are also called “wet ponds.” They are designed to hold water permanently. When the amount of water entering the pond exceeds in volume, water is slowly released downstream (or to the nearest creek or river). You will need to maintain the pond if there is any damage to the facility resulting from excess sediment or shrub vegetation growth.

Rain gardens. They are a replica of natural vegetation that absorbs and treats surface runoffs from pavement or landscaped areas through soil and mulch. Rain gardens require regular maintenance and mulch replacement, especially when the vegetative cover becomes wilted or there is sediment erosion present.

Retention tank. This is an underground tank or vault where water is retained and used for another purpose instead of just allowing it to drain. It is also used for harvesting rainwater from rooftops or hard surfaces to irrigate gardens.

Infiltration trenches. They are composed of gravel and are designed to let storm water runoffs ooze into the soil. You will need to maintain these trenches if there is vegetation growth or waste and other debris is present.

Adam Nash Enterprise, Inc. can install all these and more! We also adhere to state environmental regulations and building codes to assure clients responsible and ethical installation of facilities.
