NDS Drainage Products

A maker of catch basins, channel drains, grates, pipe fittings and other yard drainage products, now part of ADS.

NDS makes yard drainage products, such as catch basins, channel drains, grates, pop-up emitters and pipe fittings, and it is now part of Advanced Drainage Systems, or ADS. Landscapers and drainage contractors know the products from supply stores, and homeowners see them on their own yards as green or black grates and round basins. When a Nashville yard needs a surface drain or a downspout emitter, these parts are the working pieces of the system.

We are an independent drainage and waterproofing company and are not affiliated with NDS or ADS. We use a range of drainage parts and choose based on the job and the loads. The maker publishes product guides and installation tips, and we encourage you to read them, and we explain how basins, pipes and emitters fit together on your property.

Questions

NDS FAQ

Are plastic grates strong enough for driveways?

Only rated models. The load rating matters, and we choose accordingly.

Can I install these myself?

Many owners do for small jobs. Slope and an outlet are the hard parts.

Are you affiliated with NDS?

No. We are an independent waterproofing company, and NDS is a name that belongs to its owner. We work with many products and companies and are glad to use the one you prefer.
