The Hidden Downspout You Can Mow Right Over

UnderGround Downspouts are downspout extensions made to keep roof water away from your home’s foundation. It’s entirely underground removing all obstructions versus traditional downspout extensions that lay across the lawn. You can even mow right over them!

UnderGround Downspout Extension Installation Guide
Step 1: Select a location at least 8 feet out from the downspout and dig a circular hole for the Bubbler Pop-up. Make this hole 12 inches wide by 10 inches deep. Fill the bottom of the hole with 2 inches of gravel. Make sure the top of the green lid will be flush with the dirt line when installed.

Step 2: Scoop out a shallow trench from the downspout to the Bubbler Pop-up hole. For an 8-foot pipe, the trench should start approximately 4 inches deep and slope down, ending at approximately 8 inches deep. Helpful tip: Pile dirt on a large tarp to make dirt removal clean and easy.
