I buried 2 of them; 1 of them I had to run under the sidewalk. Ran them to the front yard and put pop-ups on the end of them that stay closed until it rains.

One suggestion is to use pvc connectors and pipe, not the cheap plastic fittings the big box stores sell. |

By pop up valves, do you mean check valves or backwater valves? Didnt the contractor question you or did you do it after the closing?

This is a pop-up valve to use when burying downspouts to discharge in the yard

Not to belabor the point, but in landscaping parlance, these are referred to as pop-up’s. Check valves are used in irrigation systems.
Regardless, now the OP has an idea of what’s involved. |

OP, be careful where you relocate the drainage to. I just had to have my existing buried drain lines MOVED due to marginal drainage capability on the original installation several years ago. With the very wet summer/fall the lawn developed mold, had to have all of the sod in that area removed and resodded. I called ARC and was told I did not need approval for this work which surprised me, I also asked if the pop-up could be located close to the street and they did not care, New system seems to be working much better.

Mine dump out by street. Over few years they do plug up some especially if you have large trees and no eve covers along with older roof loosing sand. I use my EGO blower on turbo. I take down spout pipe off and stick the round nozzle down the drain which fits like glove. Hit the button and water shoot up 3 feet high. Then, I reach down and plug out any debris left in the bottom. Might don’t have the pop up just grate covering the opening. |
