How to Install Lawn Pop-up Drain

Downspouts that drain into flowerbeds or other areas around the yard can cause damage and other unsightly issues. One way to avoid that is to install a Pop-up Drain Emitter. It's an easy weekend job that will divert water away from your home and keep your flowerbeds free of water erosion.

I used those cheap corrugated pipe that you pull out and 2 years later I have to remove that garebage pipe . It collapsed from the weight of my cub cadet mowere and broke and now I have dug it up and it has cracks and splits all over it . I bought the nds corrugated heavy pipe . My yard is sloped away from the house and I have zoisa grass and every outlet I have used at the end of the run has failed . Broken or cracked end drain My house is 100 ft long with 6 downspouts and used the heavy duty corruragated pipe on all the others since the 3 back downspouts have to run over 100 ft in some cases and every popup has cracked or broken . The 2 of the front ones now have above ground pipes until I replace the underground failed garbage you show here that cracks, splits and breaks . Since the front yard is sloped all the way down to the road I bought 1 pipe 100 ft long . 1 cut off will be 40 ft long because it has to go around the edge of my 5 thousand gallon koi pond . Others will each be 30 ft long, Slope runs down to the road over 400 ft so won't need as much on those 2

Before you do any of that, you should locate your utilities.

I'd put sod over the stone, not dirt if I was forced to use an end drain like that. Sod has dirt held together by the roots. Dirt will wash into the stone. Popups should be used as the absolute last resource. Open discharge is best.

there is a reason plumbers fail flexible plastic pipe for your sink and recommend hard pipe instead. with all the work you do to set up the drain, why not use solid plastic pipe? without corrugations no silt build up would occur, water flow would be improved and the flimsy flexible pipe would be replaced by something that would last longer

What if your lawn slopes up away from your house? Would this still work?

[zacksgaragedoorserviceandr]

You did everything right besides two things that pipe you use is basically garbage a collapse pretty easily and your keys to use to connect the downspout with it was way too large it was designed for a bigger downspout and you need to get the right adapter for it

I saw the Chores part of the video, so what was the Chow?? I hope some good bbq, you deserve it., so how long did it take to do this whole job(not counting getting the parts from the hardware store?

[mikeg]

dont by the one in this video. with no spring on the emitter the mower will suck up the pop-up and cut if off.

Iam doing a French system along the side of my detached garage. I live I'm the city and my parents live in garage so water is been getting in there. I was gonna have the corrugated pipe run all the way to street from garage for water to exit but garage kinnda far from where garage is. So my question is if I use one of those emmiter pop up elbows somewhere down the pipe for water to exit, will I need to slope the corrugated pipe down to emmiter elbow so water can escape there if pipe gets filled up with water or emmiter pop up will work regardless of pipe slope?

Great video! I just had an irrigation company do this for me, but noticed a couple of the pop up emitters are at least 2 inches below grade. Will this cause any problems?

[rickify]

Hi, do you need a permit to dig your front yard to run a pipe and put a pop up drain?

[robbutler]

Did this exactly, now I have very soft ground around the emitter, always wet, what could that be from?

[sindhurkumarchegulokanath]

Thanks for the video. It was very informative. I have a question, today in my lawn i observed when i ever i switched on the sprinkler system this NDS pipe pops-up and water is flowing. And after switching off the sprinkler system the water still flows for sometime from the pop-up emitter and then stops. Can you please tell me why it's happening this way. Appreciate your help on this.

[asadhayat]

Hows your system working after one year? If you give us update and that would be helpful.

[hokustar]

Do you think I could do this process but with pvc pipe

[ernestfeltman]

What is the adapter Called from the emitter to the corrugated pipe?
