Your cart is empty.Trouble with stormwater flooding your lawn, patio, or landscaping? You’re not alone. For many homeowners, that means excess water isn’t able to properly drain. If the problem isn’t fixed, it can lead to a bigger problem—and costly damage to your property. Here’s how to fix it.Drain water where it doesn’t need to be with a stormwater catch basin. The 12 in. Square Catch Basin is ideal for handling heavy flows from lawns, landscaped areas, under downspouts, patios, and walkways. The catch basin, or catch drain, does more than “catch” water—as part of a complete drainage system, it works stealthily underground to direct water to connected drain pipes which carry the water to a discharge point such as a pop-up emitter, or to percolate into the ground with a dry well or infiltration trench. Kit includes a 2-opening basin made of polypropylene, 2 outlet adapters, and 1 plug which fits in either outlet adapter, and polyethylene grate to block leaves and debris from entering the drainage system. The storm drain with grate is rated for NDS Class B loads when properly installed. Built-in basin sump is easy to access and clean.NDS offers free tools such as the Home Drainage Center, Calculators, and NDS Stormwater Drainage mobile app to help make your project a success. Founded in 1972, NDS is the preferred choice of professionals and the leader in stormwater management solutions with proven products, tools, and support to help you get the job done right.

These are well built and do a great job. Installed three of them in our ditching/french drain system.

I have had this basin installed at the edge of my long sloped gravel driveway for almost a year now so it has seen all the different weather patterns we get. I was blown away at how well this basin worked for my application. The reduction in how much gravel on my long driveway gets washed away with heavy rain runoff and spring snow runoff is amazing to me for the size of the basin.I should also mention how much better the price was than anything I could find locally

We ordered this to install a French drain on the side of our house. After a lot of digging and ordering all other necessary parts this ended up being a great purchase! 2 months in and still holding up great!

I installed it as a drain at the bottom of my driveway, then attached some 4” hose to join it to piping leading to my sump pump. I attached the supplied outlet to one hole and the closed door to the other. I needed to silicone 4 holes per side as these attachments create holes. I also drilled 4 holes in the bottom, otherwise a couple inches of stagnant water would always remain at the bottom of the reservoir.

I bought this catch basin to go with my NDS Flo-well. I wanted to put this against the house so one of my downspouts would empty into it, and then I would direct that water to the dry well. The problem is that where you connect the adapters to attach your pipe to direct water, there are large gaps where water will leak out before it even gets the chance to go down the PVC to where ever you're redirecting it.I have no idea why they think this design would be ideal. The outlet for water drainage is a few inches above the bottom of the basin and there are holes where the connection sits that water will exit from first. There are numerous photos and videos floating around (and I think most of these reviews reflect it) of a prior version of this where there aren't these holes in the sides, and maybe you could get away with caulking or gluing them, but there's just no way with this new version.I emailed customer support asking about this, because who wants to put this beside their foundation (there are photos from NDS with this as a placement example), and they say it's by design for a "soil-tight fit". They even tell you to drill "weeping holes" in the bottom to allow standing water in it to drain into the ground.All I can say is I'm trying to redirect water away from my house, not allow it to go in the soil. I don't expect a catch basin to have holes. Do not buy this.

We have used prior versions of this unit. This is the "New Version," so I figured there were improvements over the prior version. The outlet adapter slots (4) around the perimeter don't line up and leave large unsealed sections where water leaks out. Although it should not be a huge issue, it will saturate the soil around the basin where water can escape during a difficult storm. The manufacturing seems low quality, given the poor fit. I think the manufacturing cost savings are the "improvements."

First let me say it's a very good product.Several reviews claim it leakes through where the adapters twist in. It doesn't. The problem is it must be twisted all the way in which is difficult.One drawback is there are two adapters, one which is plugged and the other is not. The box has two holes so if you are installing it close to a wall or foundation, the plugged adapters must be installed inside the box, not outside.Also, it would be helpful if the manufacturer published better measurements.The height is 12 inches to the bottom of the lip, not the top of the grate.The outlet is centered in the 12 inches so the top of a 4 inch pipe is 4 inches from the top and likewise with the bottom.And lastly, the box will not drain until there is 4 inches of water in the bottom. Therefore, that water will remain in the bottom unless you drill a drain hole. To prevent erosion, I suggest only a small hole.
