The invention described is a pipe guard that prevents unwanted debris from entering a pipe while still allowing the flow of water. The pipe guard includes braces connecting a mounting flange on the outside of the pipe to a plate within the pipe having a plurality of holes. A bracket extends from one brace to the other between the flange and plate to provide additional support and rigidity to the pipe guard as well as acting as a handle that can be grasped by a worker to remove the pipe guard and material that may build up on the plate. The pipe guard is secured within the pipe by fasteners that extend through threaded holes in the braces and partially embed into the interior wall of the pipe. Accordingly, the pipe guard cannot be pulled free from or knocked loose from the pipe without loosening the screws.
