When can you do one w drain to curb.

PVC Schedule 40 vs. PVC DWV pipe for underground gutter drain with 4-8" of gravel (flower beds) but no vehicle traffic (only foot)? Thanks for posting!

Excellent explanation, thanks for sharing

mate, how many inches wide from wheel ends ? So as i understood the size of the bed is 80 inches?

Easy installation of a maintenance nightmare 😂

How come you didn't use any fabric for around the rock and pipe?

Nice soft soil

I’m prepping to do the same thing with sdr 35 pipe. It’s easy material to get for me. Thanks for making videos like this for us white sneaker wearing middle aged dads lol 👊

Great video and perfect explanation. I’ve been looking everywhere on RUclips for some tips on how to install, dig and where to put stone and I just want to say thank you!!! Time to get started.

You can get a dead straight line with a piece of string between two sticks right on the ground, and spray over it with the turf spray paint sold at Home Depot. Did it this week and it works so much better than eyeballing.

Very nice job. Will that PVC 6 inch to 4 inch reducer that is exposed to daylight will that last at least 10 years or will that get brittle and break within 5 years??? Would double wall corrugated pipe be better for locations that have 10 inches of frost.

Excellent video! 🙏 Thank you

Is that SDR 35 pipe? Great job and thanks

The French man doesn't recommend French drains starting and then dumping into a catch basin tied together with a surface water system? He likes to keep them separate but together. Do you agree?

I'll be running a drain pipe for backyard water, parallel with my concrete driveway, about 1.5ft distance from the driveway. Occasionally someone in my household will "miss" the driveway and might roll a vehicle over the ground above the pipe. Because of that possibility, maybe I should spend more for stronger schedule 40 pipe, in order to avoid pipe collapse due to vehicle weight?

thanks very helpful

You ever have any issues with shingle asphalt plugging up?

Getting ready to redo my yard from a 50 year old system. Can you just backfill with dirt? No gravel required?

I would like to see the type of gutter that is attached to the house 5:31

Is the pvc that you run have drilled holes in the bottom or is that not needed for these systems?

Have you ever had your dovetail hit the ground? It looks like it's low - very close to the ground.

Nicely done. Can I install this threaded Tee fitting against the building? Or does it have to be horizontal in the ground?

Interested in a video to explain installation of French drain . Do you put double corrugated pipes in yours or just one? Also gravel all along the pipes or just at the end? Last question what piece goes at the end of the corrugated pipe?

for your clean outs you can use a wye pipe instead

Nice work. When the clean out is on a 90, can you get a hose around that bend? Or use a sweep instead?

Outstaiding Video. It contained just the "how to" facts on how to install the drain. Did not try to be a comedian or try to be funny with a lot of silly stuff. I really enjoyed watching and I think that I learned enough to complete my project. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge . I saved this video in order to refer back to it when I do the project.

I wonder how much pitch you would have left after installing a riser on the popup. I think that should be your final measurement. The hose test would be a good idea.

Planning my project. I’m draining a yard (not real big) and one gutter from the house, all into a 4 inch pipe. Will that same pop up on the end allow that amount of water to drain? Seems like (of course) you need to provide >= drainage for the water you’re collecting.

Great video. I had a similar system installed but the landscaper didn’t drill a hole at the 90, so we have standing water in the pipe. I have to dig them up and drill a hole to let the water run out. My question, is the stone enough to keep debris out or would you recommend a sock or sleeve over the drilled hole?

I like to put my cleanout at the downspout. basically put a Wye and connect it and put a strainer inside and they can stick their hand in to take out leaves

Your video is outstanding!! This customer is extremely lucky to have you doing this installation project!!

I’ve watched both your gutter drain videos. It took me to the end of this one to realize that a “pop up” is what lets the water escape the pipe once it’s fool! 🤦‍♂️

Keep pushing sir! I have a small business similar to yours in Charleston!

Great video, thank you! One issue though. Where is your PPE? I guess it's a "live free or die" thing. 😁

Thank you

If I have a 20’ long area of low ground that pools water and I put in catch basin drains, how far apart should I space them? I have to T them off or Y them into a main drain pipe toward a sloping drain line that runs toward the the top of a hill before dumping. How low should the basin sit when the grate cover is in it? Thanks.

For the instance where you just " burrito wrap " the rock , ( no pipe in trench), even though you have 1 % slope, what transports the water out of low end of Trench? Doesn't it just flow through water, then down to ground and soak In? Seems as pipe would be the true conduit. If pipe is not necessary, then you'd waste a lot of money on it. Not being negative, just inquisitive.

Great job 👍. I was wondering why where you have the clean out...Using a catch basin to catch shingle gravel...I plan on putting a catch basin pretty much where you have the clean out ...And a leaf debris filter on downspout...

How could that clean out possibly protect your system from roof gravel any where close to what a catch basin could do? Once the gravel gets past that clean out you're screwed and your system will get filled up then clogged up, no?

Awesome showing. Much appreciated!!!

so down south you use no. 4 granite. what is the preferred stone for us in the north east? cost wise? GREAT VIDEO!

You don't have to deal with a frost line, do you?

do you have to use 4" pipe or can you go with a smaller diameter if house is 1200sf? Thanks

Popups suk, water can't push dirt & debris up a 90°, it will fill with dirt, should have put a T with a pipe going down into the gravel instead of a 90.

The minute he say he shop at Ace I click thumb down and back. I can’t take anyone shop at a store smaller than my garage seriously. That’s like saying u shops at dollar general for your hardware

Thanks LowCountry.. I just built my 5th French Drain on my property last week. I find many people call "Trench Drains" French Drains. My French Drain DIY: (there are a couple videos on my channel) I dig a 4 ft deep hole, about 18" round. (In clay per Virginia). I then take a 10 ft long 2" diameter PVC pipe, and start pounding it into the bottom center of my hole. At first I climb on a ladder as the pipe is so high, and swing a sledgehammer. Eventually.. long story short, I am 4 ft deep on my first hole, and the pvc is 7 ft under that hole, a total of 11 ft or so. That is where I hit white gold in my town. Pure sand. Once I hit that, I do a couple last pulls of the hole and cut the pipe so it is 3" - 4" higher than my bottom of the main hole. I cover the PVC with a cap temporarily, and pour in play sand to stabilize the pipe and seal it up. REMOVE YOUR CAP!! Then lay my fabric as Lowcountry said.. a very special fabric.. a non-woven fabric. Criss cross, spike the edges down before you pour your smooth river stone in, so the edges of the fabric don't get pulled into the hole. I pour in 3-4 bags of rocks. Then fold the fabric over the top round robin style, no holes.. I sprinkle a half bag of sand over the fabric for good measure, then pour in a bag or two of rocks to finish it off. *Videos on my channel.

I used hdpe pipes connected them to these small basins( not really basin) connected using PVC tape and adhesive.all leading to an emitter until I can get a core drill then I'll drill under the sidewalk to the street

Thanks for the helpful video, and appreciate your easy going personality

Have a ton of standing water on my patio when it rains, the backyard slopes towards the house. French drain will help, need to direct water to where a Camphor tree stump used to be.
