Keep Unwanted Pests and Plants Out Of Your Home and Pipes With a Curb Drain Guard.

OCEANSIDE, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, June 2, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In neighborhoods where curbs are used, most of the homes have curb drains. These uncovered drain holes, leading from the home to the street, help eliminate yard drainage problems.

However, these drain holes also lead from the street back to the home. And, as suburban sprawl continues to displace rats, snakes, squirrels, skunks and other animals into neighborhoods, these pests often find the uncovered holes and crawl in. Once inside the pipes, they have free passage to basements and roofs. The pipes also make ideal nesting sites for these animals.

Besides animals and nests, a messy mishmash of weeds, leaves, waste and other debris floating down the gutter and in the street often finds its way into these openings. The debris can clog the drain system and cause unwanted plants to grow inside the pipe.

When these problems occur, homeowners usually call in a drain cleaning professional or pest control expert, or they try to get rid of the problem themselves. But, service calls are expensive, and ‘snaking’ a drain is time-consuming and filthy. Worse yet, none of these actions prevent the situation from happening again. The ideal solution is to keep pests and debris from entering the pipes in the first place.

Willie Valdez, a landscape designer and general contractor for over 30 years, frequently encountered issues involving pests and plants. He looked for an affordable way to protect the drainage system and enhance the landscaping, but nothing was available. So, he invented a product that solves the problem.

“The Free Flow drain guard can easily be installed in any pipes being used for curb drainage systems,” says Valdez, President of Free Flow Products, based in Oceanside CA. “This self-adjusting device collapses to fit in the pipe, and once in place it expands to lock into the drain. No tools are required and it only takes a few seconds to install.”

The front of the device faces the street and has a simple one-way trapdoor that allows water and debris to flow naturally out of the drain. When water is not flowing from the drain, the trapdoor closes to prevent pests and debris from entering the drainage system. The drain guard is also removable for cleaning the drain.

“As more communities and states make property owners responsible for water drainage and runoff from their property, there is a huge increase in issues associated with pests and plant intrusion,” states Valdez. “The drain guard is an easy way to protect your pipes and keep unwanted pests out of your home. Not covering a curb hole is like leaving your front door wide open.”
