On a side note, with all of the recent heavy rains, i noticed the pop-ups for the drains on 3 of our down spouts did not appear to be working, actually one of the downspouts had the water coming UP at the connection to the underground pipe. I spent about an hour trying to find the pop-ups, the grass had completely grown over these!. Then when I dug them out, I found 4 to 5 inches of dirt and roots which I had to clean out! They are all working now, and I will be making arrangements so these are are much easier to see in the future. Never occured to me that these would clog and become overgrown....
