Do Pop Up Emitters Work For French Drains And Downspout Drainage ?

As you can see, the answer is yes. Texas Drain Solutions will cater to the needs and budget of each client. This emitter is discharging the out flow from 2- 3" x 4" x 4" inch rain gutter downspout drains and 2- 9" x 9" inch surface water catch basins. This homeowner has chosen to use the emitter , however later wishes to carry it to the street and coring a 4" inch hole thru the curb. In addition, a french drain will be added around the patio and connected to the 4" SDR 35 pvc drain pipe. As long as you have 1-2 % grade from point A to point B, the emitter will work with 3" inches of head pressure. Texas Drain Solutions drills perforation holes in the last 3'-4' feet of the discharge pipe, then installs the pop up emitter. We line that portion of the trench with pond pebbles. This allows for the drain pipe to empty completely when the rain stops and also prevents prolonged standing of water that attracts mosquitos.
