Customer Reviews
Outstanding product quality and functionality! Pop-up with Turf Restrictor Plate is genius and performs exactly as advertised. Solid parts and love the backup spare parts provided with this and the replacement pop-up door. Adding weight on the pop-up door is very helpful. Highly recommend these products and subscribing to the YouTube videos where it the real results can be seen!
Everyone is helpful when you call with questions. As a DIYer, not a contractor, I wish I would have known in advance I would need risers for one of my pop up emitters but they make it easy to purchase and delivery is extremely quick.
I bought three standard (for 2x3 gutters) Downspout Cleanout and Leaf Filter units, plus three 4" catch basins plus fittings to adapt to thin wall SDR pipe, and everything worked out great and was of very high quality and well designed. The photos are two of the clean out/filter units.
I had the catch basin positioned just before a Flo Well dry well, with a pop up emitter on top of the catch basin so it would overflow if the dry well got completely full.
One tip that I found, was to use the SDR pipe with the large built in coupling bell end at the top so the height of the NDS pop up emitter could be easily adjusted.

These products are excellent. I used both 3 and 4 inch solid pipe for my downspout system--the leaf catchers on each downspout (excellent product) pop-up emitters with turf restricters and catch basins with turf restricters. The tape they have is great too. The ordering process was simple and they even commented on my design. Shipped right to my house. Everything was perfect. My yard still needs a French Drain system installed and I will be using French Drain Man products for that job too. I have a video of the job but its too large but I'll keep trying to get it posted. It was a big job--about 200 feet of system.
I'm glad I found out about the French Drain man! I will be using his downspout leaf filters and pop-up emitters in every install from now on.
Great design and solid build. Worth the little extra than the big box store pop-up emitters. Videos were also super helpful.
I have purchased three of the downspout kitswhich have the 3 inch hose, pop up emitter, dowspout adapter and catch basin. All parts fit well. I was able to install with no problems. Two of the installations required digging under sidewalks. I have four more downspouts that I will use the FDM kits on. I live in Maine so I needed to drill holes in the catch basin and emitter to drain the system.
After we bought our 100-year-old house, I did a lot of research before attempting to fix our horrible basement flooding. After every medium to heavy rainfall, our entire basement would be covered with 3 to 6 inches of water. I spent days pumping water after every rain shower. French Drain Man was easily the best resource I could find, from their excellent help videos to their superb products. We called several businesses to help us and they all wanted $3,500 or more for minor fixes. Most said we had to pay well over $10,000 to add additional sump pumps and French drains along the all basement walls. After less than $1,000 and three days of work (following the advice of French Drain Man and using my favorite FDM products), I stopped our basement flooding. It's now bone dry and has been that way for almost one year. I especially love their popup emitters and downspout leaf filters. Definitely worth the extra cost, and shipping was fast. I could not be happier with FDM!
We recently have had The French Drain man complete 3 underground gutter drains, with downspout cleanout, catch basin, and pop up drain. They were installed under cement walkways already in place. From the moment they arrived you could see they were very organized and meticulous about their business. They have what they do down to a science. There was no guessing as they had a plan in place for our yard before they arrived. They used top notch products, and completely put everything back and cleaned up as if they were never there. Thank you French Drain Man.

I have installed 2 of their catch basins and pop-up emitters for my downspouts. Their products are quality and made in the USA. I'm very happy with them!
Very happy with the product I received. I'm using the popup emitter with the catch basin for my downspouts. The flap style on this emitter allows leaves and debris to easily flow out or collect in the catch basin with less worry about clogging and plugging up the emitter. A bit more expensive than other popups but the clog free nature is good insurance in my wooded location. I'm ordering two more today.
Great supplies for drain work. Best I found. Over size pop up covers are the best.
They have everything I needed to really do my downspout drainage right. With the downspout cleanouts, catch basin and excellent pop-up emitter I can now handle Florida's summer thunderstorms and get the water far away from the house. Excellent training videos to help a DIYer.
I am very pleased with the quality go the French Drain Man Pop-Up Emitter. I just completed my first at-home installation and am excited for the next rain storm.
