Complete appliance repairs in your home speedy turn around from a well rounded certified technician from Howard county hours of operation Monday thru Friday 9AM to 5PM some saturdays available by special request 443-545-9300
"This company is a one man show. Provider is very unprofessional and unethical. He stated that there was no warranty on an icemaker that he installed. Don't use this person you will have definite regrets! Provider checked my icemaker that was not working properly. Provider stated that it needed to be replaced. Provider went to pick up an icemaker and stated the cost of 215.00. When provider came back the icemaker was operating. I told the provider that the ice maker was working and provider stated that the ice tray was dirty and peeling and still needed to be replaced. I questioned the provider about replacing the icemaker as it only looked stained from the hard water in our house. The provider insisted that it was peeling and needed to be replaced. Hesitantly, I allowed provider to replace the icemaker. I had texted the provider and asked him to provide a warranty for the icemaker and labor. I received no reply via text. I resent the text on Friday March 01 and the provider replied that he sent the information. I checked my email and the provider resent the invoice and added that there was no warranty on the icemaker and the labor was 30 days. I texted the provider and asked who the manufacturer was and their contact information. He texted back Tribles Appliance. I called Tribles Appliance in Rockville, MD and was told that all parts have a one year warranty. At this point I knew the provider was lying and did not want to deal with him at all."

Their communication was very strong from beginning to finish, their initial plan recommendations were excellent, they made several recommendations to not only make the job better, but also make it more cost effective along the way.

Rainwater recycling systems reliably provide service for 15 to 30 years. If you opt for high‑quality tanks made from fiberglass or concrete, you can extend their operational life even further. On the other hand, rain barrels typically last no more than 15 years because exposure to UV rays and harsh weather conditions degrades their material over time. Knowing this difference can help you choose the right system for your long‑term water collection needs.
Contractors install a cistern system by first selecting the method that matches your site's requirements. For above‑ground installations, they position the cistern beneath your downspout to capture direct runoff. For underground installations, they excavate the area, position and route the cistern for water distribution, and then seamlessly connect it to your home's plumbing. A final inspection confirms that the system delivers water efficiently for both irrigation and household use.
A cistern functions by gathering rainwater from roof runoff via gutters and downspouts or from water seeping naturally into the ground. It stores the collected water in a durable tank that supplies water for irrigation, household plumbing, and other applications. Integrated filtration and distribution systems then ensure that the stored water is delivered safely and efficiently for various uses.
You can store rainwater as long as the water quality is maintained and the storage container remains intact. When used for landscape irrigation, your stored water remains safe as long as you prevent algae growth through regular cleaning. For potable use, proper treatment and durable, non-degradable containers can secure the water indefinitely. This approach ensures that your stored water remains usable until it's replenished by new rainfall.
The amount of rainwater you can collect depends on the size of your collection surface and the rainfall intensity. For every inch of rain on a 1,000‑square‑foot roof, you can collect between 550 and 630 gallons of water. If your roof is this size and you receive half an inch of rain, your system can produce an average of 225 gallons.
Yes, harvesting rainwater is cost‑effective because it provides you with continuous access to water without recurring expenses. While there's an initial investment, you'll offset that cost through long‑term savings on your water bills. With the stored water supporting your landscape irrigation, household water needs, and even domestic uses with proper treatment, this efficient system enhances your home's sustainability and reduces your utility costs.
