Workarounds Described

• clears leaves by hand
• places objects around drain to block leaves
• pours hot water and dish soap to break up debris
• uses pressure washer to clean drain

PipeSnug Cover

PipeSnug is an adjustable drain cover designed to seal around protruding pipes. Made of flexible rubber or custom-cut mesh, it snaps onto the drain rim and conforms to any pipe shape to block leaves, debris, and pests while still allowing drainage.
