Review: Keeps the leaves and debris out of your drains - This product will save your basement from flooding. I placed this over the drain at the base of my stairs that lead out to my backyard. If I forget to sweep up the leaves just before heavy rain is expected, I don’t have to worry about the drain clogging up with debris. The water drains without pooling and gets filtered under the debris. Just don’t forget to clean out the filter every so often. This product is hassle free.
Review: Very happy with this product - It works!! I’m so pleased with this product. I’ve experienced two very strong storms. It was very easy to set up, clean and it doesn’t move once installed. Normally just a few leaves would block the drain and water would spill into the basement.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mixed Feeling
*by C***0 on July 2, 2023*

The Good: First the pin of the Drain Defender is longer now and I had no problem getting it to stay in my drain even though it is “sunk” into the concrete. It appear Drain Defender will do the job of helping the drain continue to work if leaves or other debris get around the drain and would probably aid in preventing flooding etc. The Bad: The problem I have with it is there is about 1/4” of hard plastic between the edge/bottom of the cover and the opening/hole for the water to go through. That means you automatically have 1/4 of water “backed up” before it can actually go down the drain. While 1/4” isn’t a huge amount, depending on the fall of your concrete it could make a big difference. I wasn’t pleased with how much water was present in my case. I also felt, but can’t say I really checked it, that the drain defender slowed down the speed in which the water flowed into the drain, it definitely still flowed just seemed slightly slower. The speed isn’t that big a deal though. In the end I like the overall premise of it and believe it would be great if it cause the water to backup 1/4” . I will likely to either extend the openings further or more likely make some small notches along the bottom edge of the cover to let the water through. If that works then the Drain Defender will be my go to solution.
