Surface Water Drainage Problem Solved – Lawn Magnum

About The Lawn Magnum
A problem plaguing property owners solved: surface water collected from extreme rain storms by run off of downspouts and basement discharge pumps now drains directly to roots of vegetation and the water table aquifer. No longer will water be relocated to other surface areas and cumulate into large ponds or overburden municipal sewer systems. Researches show that professionally managed lawn care and above ground water discharge pose no significant threat to the environment. However, the public perception is that all lawn care and above ground water discharge is a primary source of contamination and surface flooding.
Research and Development
Researchers challenged to come up with solutions that reduce the risks of lawn care and surface water discharge pollution and flooding have designed a sub surface drainage and deep root irrigation device (the Lawn Magnum®) to eliminate contamination and surface flooding allowing a highly efficient recycling of water and nutrients.
Lawn Magnum Specs
The Lawn Magnum®, with similar installations since 1952, has a life expectancy of approximately 50 years. The unit is 28” in height, 161/4” in diameter and weighs about 150 lbs. and is manufactured from an inert carbon material and portland cement. It is now available exclusively through your Basement Technologies® dealer and should help alleviate lawn flooding. The Lawn Magnum® is a patented design set up to force water laterally under the lawn, recharging the aquifer. The discharged water is forced downward into the Lawn Magnum® and dispersed laterally into the subsoil and the aquifer, thus reducing the hassle and inconvenience of huge excavation sites and heavy equipment use. For severe flooding, multiple units can be installed.
