Residential & Commercial Rain Chains

At this time we do not offer Rain Chains. But we will Install Rain Chains that you Purchase

Rain chains have been around for centuries! The first rain chains hail from Japan, known as “kusari-doi” meaning “chain-gutter.” A rain chain is meant to take on the role of a traditional downspout.

The goal of a rain chain is to collect runoff from your roofline while managing the flow of water down the side of your home and away from your foundation. Just like downspouts, rain chains can drain into any area while managing the flow of water away from your home.

HOMEOWNERS ARE CHOOSING RAIN CHAINS OVER GUTTER DOWNSPOUTS.

Rain Chains versus Downspouts

One major advantage that a rain chain has over gutter downspouts is that they are beautiful and less cumbersome looking than gutters.
You can choose from a vast number of styles and materials, which will increase the curbside appeal of your home.
Also, rain chains can provide musical sounds that transform rainwater into a relaxing event.
Rain chains can also be designed as an extension of your home with different structures to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your exterior.
They are also easy to install, which means that they are less costly and require less installation time.
Typically, a rain chain is hung beneath the gutter system. So there isn’t a huge cost to installing them, unlike downspouts, which can be difficult to install and very time-consuming.

Rain Chains

If you’re looking to boost your curb appeal or have a personal affinity for aesthetics, rain chains are for you. Chain lengths can be made to order and vary depending on the height of your roofline. They can be made from stainless steel, aluminum, bamboo, or copper and come in various sizes and shapes. From monarch rings to cups and umbrellas or teardrops to lilies, rain chains come in decorative styles that will enhance your outdoor living space while serving a practical purpose.

Whether your home is traditional or modern, rustic or Victorian, there’s a rain chain option for you. Here are the top three tips for choosing the perfect rain chain to support your gutter system while providing your home with a fresh look.

Curb Appeal and Design Selection:

If you’re considering a low-cost, efficient, and entertaining addition to your home, rain chains are all the rage. From brass to copper or steel to wood, there are many materials, shapes, and sizes to choose from.

Easy Addition to Your Current Gutter System:

Ideally, your full-length rain chain won’t exceed the weight of your downspout. Your gutter system must be able to support the weight of the rain chain. Replacing your downspout with a rain chain of equal or lesser weight will help to ensure your gutters will not collapse or cave. Plus, a matching or lesser weight rain chain will be more likely to withstand strong winds and heavy storms.

Also, measure the height needed for the rain chain to either sit in a drainage reservoir or meet your drainage system, ground spouts.

Multi-Use Options:

A perk to their functionality, rain chains are commonly used around the home, but you can also extend their use to other spaces such as your business. Rain chains can be used on your patio covering, pool house, children’s playset or playhouse, pergola, or garden shed.

Rain Chain Maintenance Tips

Because rain chains are installed outdoors and drains rainwater, periodic maintenance is necessary.

Remove the piled leaves at the water collector where the eaves spout and rain chains connect.
If trees are nearby, then falling leaves will collect in the rain spout. The leaves will block the rain port and will prevent rainwater from draining, which will result in overflow or damaged spout from the sheer weight.
Check the eave spout periodically and clean out the leaves and other unwanted buildups.

Cleaning Rain Chains

Dust in the air and dirt will attach to the rain chain and may blacken the chain. These are only attached to the surface, so in principal, wiping it with a wet cloth will maintain its cleanness.
The aesthetics are essential for this type of product, so we recommend wiping it down periodically.
As for the copper products, these will naturally change color and become darker, but it is not from dirt, and in fact, it is the natural aging process, so it cannot wipe it off.

Check to see if leaves or other unwanted objects are stuck on the rain chain.

When leaves or objects are stuck on rain chains, the water will not flow smoothly.
It must periodically be inspected and must remove unwanted objects.
When any part is damaged, we may repair or replace it if parts are available.
