In June and July, 2021, Storm Water Solutions (SWS) sent out a 9-question survey to builders and remodelers from the databases of Pro Builder and Pro Remodeler magazines (SGC/SGC Horizon brand(s)). SWS sought to measure the importance and need for storm water, runoff and erosion control solutions and sustainable design amongst residential builders and remodelers as it relates to their businesses and customers. In total, 142 people completed the survey.
