Stormwater Management Products
Stormwater management products move water away from foundations, walkways, and low spots before it can pool, erode soil, or damage a structure. Channel drains capture surface runoff along a line - a driveway, patio edge, or slope; catch basins collect water at a single low point and route it into a pipe; pop-up emitters release that water at a safe distance from the house once it's carried away.

Stormwater Management Products
Water that isn't directed somewhere on purpose ends up somewhere by accident — pooling against a foundation, cutting a channel through a slope, or turning a low spot in the yard into standing water after every storm. Stormwater management products exist to take that water and route it deliberately, from wherever it collects to somewhere it won't cause damage.
Channel drains handle water moving across a surface — a driveway, a patio, the base of a slope — by capturing it along a line rather than at a single point. A grate sits flush with the surrounding surface, water flows in along the length of the channel, and a connected pipe carries it away, which makes channel drains the right choice anywhere water crosses a hardscape surface rather than pooling in one spot.
Catch basins work differently: they collect water at a single low point, typically where multiple flows converge or where a yard naturally slopes down to one area, and route it into an underground pipe system from there. A catch basin's grate sits at or slightly below grade, and its capacity — how much water it can accept and move before overflowing — should be sized to the actual runoff a property generates rather than guessed at, since an undersized basin backs up and defeats the purpose of installing one.
Pop-up emitters solve the final step: getting collected water safely away from the house or hardscape once it's traveled through the pipe. A pop-up emitter sits flush with the lawn, opens under water pressure to release flow at a safe discharge point, and closes again when the pipe is empty, which keeps the outlet from becoming a tripping hazard or an eyesore between storms.
Drainage and erosion control often go hand in hand — moving water away from a slope only helps if the slope itself can hold together once water starts flowing across it, which is where Erosion Control products come in. The Learn HUB has guides for diagnosing standing water and choosing the right drainage solution for a specific problem area.
