Clean Water Starts With Efficient Drainage
National Water Quality Month in August reminds us that only a small portion of the Earth’s water is fresh and keeping it clean is essential. Clean water supports everything from human health and agriculture to wildlife and entire ecosystems. And it all starts with effective drainage.
At Drainage Solutions Inc., our role extends beyond providing drainage solutions that protect and elevate properties. We are also doing our part to protect our waterways and the health of local ecosystems through effective and efficient drainage equipment, tools and products.
We carry a wide range of residential and commercial products that trap sand, silt and other debris to keep them out of drainage systems and waterways. Whether you’re looking for solutions for storm drains, catch basins, roof drains or construction inlet protection, you can rest assured that you, too, will help protect our water.
Many of the high-quality, versatile products in our inventory also feature removable and cleanable filters, so the sediment is periodically removed rather than flushed through the drainage systems.
The following examples are only a handful of the many products that offer efficient, reliable, long-lasting solutions for cleaner water:
Marsh Mat – Storm Inlet Filter Pad Kits
Available with zip ties and disks for secure installation, these coir mats are designed for inlet sediment control during construction. The product is easy to install and easy to maintain. By using a broom to sweep away sediment from the top and sides of the filter, you can quickly be ready for the next storm while ensuring that all water entering the grate is filtered.

Roof Drain Filter Pads or Rolls
Strainers and filters for roof drains trap leaves and large debris to prevent clogging and water damage on properties. The easy-to-install, easy-to-maintain roof drain filters hold litter, leaves and other debris away from the drain strainer, while the porous texture allows for a high waterflow rate.

NDS Catch Basin Filter
The NDS Catch Basin Filter helps to prevent dirt and debris from clogging the drainage system. Easily removable for cleaning, the product contains a bypass feature that allows water to flow to the catch basin even if the filter is full or after a heavy stormwater event. The filter bag is made out of polypropylene geotextile fabric that provides superior filtration, is inert to biological degradation and is resistant to naturally encountered chemicals, alkalis and acids.

Dandy Bags®/Dandy Sacks®
These reusable, bright orange geotextile bags hang in storm grate inlets to capture thick sediment, preventing the material from entering drainage systems. Featuring a unique design that keeps silt, sediment and debris out of storm systems, these Dandy products reduce or eliminate the need to flush or clean inlets.

NDS Pop‑Up Emitters
Pop-up emitters by NDS are spring-loaded drainage caps designed for the outlet end of a buried pipe. When water pressure builds, the cap pops up to release runoff cleanly and efficiently. Because the emitters are always closed when water isn’t flowing, however, the emitters also help keep contaminants and critters out. The crossbar design helps clear out small debris that might collect at the outlet as well.
