The Border Patrol Underground Downspout Kit - keep water away from your foundation. Stop wet basements before they begin.

If you have a wet basement, proper water management around the foundation of your home can be very effective at keeping the water from reaching your basement. Backfill any low areas and slope the ground away from the foundation. The most serious problem is downspouts that discharge the water right next to the foundation.

An innovative product used on over 90 thousand homes is Border Patrol's Underground Downspout Kit! Water freefalls into a debris filter and flows underground through 8 feet of P.V.C. pipe. As water fills up the bubbler pot the lid raises up to let water evenly flow over onto your lawn. Drainage slots into the bubbler pot lets standing water filter down into the ground. The sold drain cover will then drop down and seal out grass clippings and dirt.

• Select an area for the Bubbler Pot at least eight feet from the house in line with your downspout.
• Dig a hole eight inches deep and twelve inches in diameter for the Bubbler Pot to sit in.
• Scoop out a shallow trench from the house to Bubbler Pot, sloping from four inches deep to eight inches deep at the pot.
• Assemble the Bubbler Pot, Center Post and Lid. Using the standard 4" thin wall P.V.C. pipe and elbow, fit one end of the pipe into the Bubbler Pot and the other end to the elbow.
• Hold the Debris Filter up against the house just under your downspout and after measuring the length of pipe needed to connect the Debris Filter to the elbow, cut to the correct length. Attach to the other end of the elbow.
• Backfill the trench around the pipe and Bubbler Pot with dirt.
