DryFields a PuddleSucker Company
Remove Puddles Properly
The Challenge
  • Not every field has access to electricity
  • Most fields do not have sheds to house field care equipment
  • Towns and leagues spend huge amounts with public works and private industry to keep fields playable
  • Officials, Coaches and players fail to drain wet fields properly - resulting in additional expense

The Solution is DryFields  

  • Effective water removal without the use of electricity
  • The most cost effective tool you'll have to dry a field
  • No need to build out infrastructure for an intermittent but costly problem
  • It fits in equipment bags so every game will have two on premisis.
  • The right tool at the right time

 

Avoid the $300 Game

"The league board reminds me (regularly) of the game in which I spread $300 of drying chemical on the the infield because of a broken sprinkler head that soaked the infield prior to our playoff game.  It took 3 trips to sheds located at other fields to gather tools, 12 parents, 8 coaches, and a lot of back breaking work... There were too many days to count that were impacted by rain last season.  Costs and time lost adds up quick when you consider the amount of teams in the league" - Coach of a Arlington Youth Baseball Association
  

 

Traditional way of draining a puddle
  • Water is "broomed" away making the field surface more susceptible to future puddles.
  • Sump pumps are deployed
  • Properly drained puddles are done so by digging a hole at the puddles deepest point.
    • Hole is made deep enough to bail out the hole
    • Water is bailed and thrown away from the infield
These techniques require: 
  • Electricity to the field
  • Proper tools
  • People trained to do the job right

 Few youth baseball organizations are well equipped or have the funds to build out infrastructure needed for an intermittent but costly problem.
