French Drain Yard Drain, Crawl Space, Apple Drains
I have this same exact issue at my house! The neighbors yard is uphill from me and all that water runs down an against my house foundation. I wish Apple Drains was in my area!
Ur in ur area dig a trench lay rock lay pipe then more rock n bam French drain 👍🏽
Same I’m in a fishbowl with a negative slope driveway, and my neighbor on my left is on higher ground. Adding to that our fiber lines run between our houses, the rest are all of my utilities. There’s no real swale, so the water that puddles in my side front/yard exits through his privacy fence. It could be worse, the neighbor to my rear is on even lower ground with no crown on her foundation. I have 2014 right of way.
Maybe one day. Thanks for watching!
I wish Apple Drains was in my area too! (Disabled) Appreciate the videos. I learned to at least get supplies and info to hopefully hire the labor.
@@BRAVO_TWO_NINE Chuck u have some guys in need of your service’s or point them to someone in there area who u would recommend who’s not a con. I’m in Australia so I can’t help. All the best ppl.
I have this same problem in a rural area. I have watched Apple Drains many videos and have solved my problem with downspouts and catch basins going into a sump pump. The Zoeller 98 pushes the water through a discharge pipe to a nearby swale. I am a 75 yr old female, but I didn't let that stop me. Chuck gives such clear directions that I was able to do it all myself. I should have done this many yrs ago, but I didn't know how to do it, what to materials to purchase or where to get it. Chuck gave me the information and the confidence to do it. I am so grateful for his videos and I truly believe if you think you can do it, you can do it.
Outstanding work! :) Chuck inspires people for sure! #legend
WOW!!!
Note: when digging out old pipe to install a 4”drain tee( abs) ALWAYS dig out a minimum of 3X the length of drain tee you are going to install in-line, 2 main reasons
1-gives you enough play(up,down,side to side movement, plus you will have enough length in pipe so you can curve it up CLEAN OFF ALL CLAY/DIRT ( and see bottom of pipe to make sure it’s perfectly clean AT LEAST 4-6” back from where you cutout opening(5” section you remove) to install the 4” drain tee you are teeing into old or new drain line.
2- making/having extra play in drain line MAKES IT WAY EASIER to not only clean that clay and dirt of BUT ALSO allows for the newly installed fittings socket(end of fitting where it has a larger diameter to fit over pipe) to be inserted into socket at FULL depth ( the old pipe should be pushed to the end of the FITTINGS SOCKET) without digging/uncovering enough length of the pipe you wish to add fitting
It’s HIGHLY UNLIKELY THE OLD DRAIN LINE PIPE IS COMPLETELY INSIDE THE TEE’S SOCKET.
1-always dig out more pipe than you think is enough, the more room under around and the exposed length of pipe makes doing the job CORRECTLY.
2- always dig out plenty of extra pipe and dig under and around it BEFORE YOU CUT INTO THE PIPE.
3-ALWAYS clean area of pipe and the groves where TAPING WILL BE WRAPPED, NEVER TAPE A DIRTY PIPE( use tape design for French drains, thankfully they did not use duct taped)
Most of these guys video’s are well done, this one is by far one of the companys poorest and should be title how not to install a tee and point out all steps missed and remind people the more playin pipe the better, and which enough ground removed around pipe you can WRAP THE TAPE AROUND PIPE WITHOUT CUTTING IT OFF THE ROLL 1ST,that is a sign you didn’t dig out the pipe enough....
They can not justify the wrongs in this video, but they can do a voice over and point out where BEST INDUSTRY PRACTICE was NOT DONE....again, I don’t comment a lot on your video’s cause most are done with a lack of pride and attention to detail as this was.... but I will continue to call out this type of work if when I see it..... I expect the founding owner to catch this before posting. Please correct your mistake, and admit like myself no one is perfect all the time. Thanks for educating homeowners, because this line of work is done incorrectly on new construction 90% of time( they skip steps etc.)snd 60-70% on redo, and pre-existing structures, so educational video’s like most you put out help the company’s that DO IT RIGHT THE 1ST TIME.
You are so correct. After viewing the video I'm shocked by this so call professional . This is like a blinded man led by blinded man.
So how is it done correctly?
Dear Eddy Barrett: Hello Eddy.
@@queenmonkeyhead: Links to your video, please, Queen Monkey?
@@jayc6841he just wrote a whole essay. I thought the same thing. Very unprofessional. Tape over dirt? Guarantee this customer will be calling another Company out in a few years
I'm involving the neighbors on both sides in coming up with a comprehensive solution to our drainage challenges - after all - rain and water tables respect no manmade boundaries.
solved a similar problem on my property, built a 4 foot block wall 300 feet long, now he has to deal with the water.
Will that water just be draining into the foundation of your block wall and eventually over the years just eat it up?
@@TzUuup Nope, I'm on a large parcel of land, the wall is at least 40 feet from my foundation and runs 300 feet from end to end
I like how the neighbor hid the drain pipe on the other side of the fence Like nobody was going to figure out where the water was coming from. When these houses are built the contractors should be elevating the finish floor so they have pitched to work with. And they should be landscaping the sides of their property to drain water.
This was one of my favorite videos :) I have a similar issue was going to go with a swale/berm strategy rather than a massive retaining wall
Great video, thanks!
This video was very interesting and informative! Thanks for posting it! 💦🌊💧
@@TheTropics4 thanks👍
If you are going to take the time to tap the joints why don't you clean the mud off the pipe ends so that the tape actually sticks? Tape won't stick well to mud.
Because theyre unprofessional. Shotty work. Why not dig a little more to give yourself room
Beware of the trenching contractor with a brand new shovel! YIKES!!!!
Cool to see you teaching your daughter! I think me and my dad might try this
Any time spent with my daughter is precious! Digging in the dirt just makes it more fun.
I live in an apartment but definitely an interesting video. I'll keep these tips in mind when I can afford to buy a house in 87 years.
Wow, great job explaining! I learned a lot about the right tools for trench digging.
Hope this helps. We try to show the "dirty details" so you can do it yourself.
I just yelled at my neighbor and he plugged the pipe towards the road that is lover than my lot :)
As an engineer… i would use smooth PVC and not corrugated pipe for long runs..
Please help me understand how do you come to your decision opting for corrugated rather than smooth PVC drain pipe......would it not (in corrugated pipes) encourage debris......leaves.....such to set in there and plugged with time.....mmmmmmh
Well "Dr Drainz" Ed, in the words of instructor Robert:
1. They forgot the plywood road
2. They did great methodical work
3. Beatiful
4. No Baaafman Tyle Material
5. Great crew, veterans,
6. Beatiful."
In my words... Top kids, nice job. (THAT counts)
Again greetings from Germany (just had a ton of Sowercrowd and Jaegersintsel in your honour)
I absolutely love your replies.
@@drdrainz3941 That's fine. An old German Saying: "Humor is when you laugh in spite of all" - or, anyway, when Robert is ruining an EazyFlow jumping on it with a red head. Till soon!
"This white clay will make a fat man work" LOL
In Washington, it is ILLEGAL to not properly control your own storm water. These folks needed to just berm their place in and let the neighbor deal with their OWN bs. That's how we roll in WA.
You sound like some of my friends, who will truck in tons of clay to build a berm, that is clearly 4 feet above the neighbor's mess, then if needed plant a few solid concrete barrier blocks, two or three high, more clay, then plant their privacy fence on top of the little berm. It has always been my understanding that the property owners were responsible for the discharge of water from their property. But living in the Midwest I have discovered that those laws were either ignored or the civil engineer missed that day in class. Water is strange, it goes in the direction that it has always flowed. You can fight it but you better use a lot of concrete and reinforcement.
@@MikeGillett58 ....And it will still win.
Why are you using corrugated drain pipe! That stuffs junk. Debris collects in it. It’s harder to keep slope. It’s better to use hard smooth PVC pipe and fittings that you can also glue the fittings.
I’ve never seen corrugated pipe used around here. It’s PVC all the way.
Amen that stuff is useless!
Everyone uses corrugated where I live. I installed mine 21 years ago and no leaks or blockages. Also PVC will freeze and crack where as corrugated can expand without cracking or breaking.
PVC that’s not under pressure will not crack sir! It will allow for roof sediment to flow and not be hindered by the corrugated ridges! But if I were too lazy to dig a proper trench for PVC and wanted the flexibility of corrugated ,well then that’s the excuse I’d give the homeowner too!!
Corrugated is just fine if installed correctly.
Nice work …… like to see the finished project in action, during a storm …..
Dr. Drain and his side kick scoop dog.
They could have just tied that downspout to the 9" box....no worries about ANY run off water from the house .....Unless the neighbor was a jerk - he would agree...
After reading the comments, the best solution is no neighbors.
I wouldn't let these clowns touch anything! He knew the camera was on and still performed a totally garbage job by not removing the mud before securing the joints all while badmouthing their competition. LOL talk about some clowns.
Can we see the result. Example: when it rains we want to see how it works. These video means nothing if you don’t see the result.
You bet. Still waiting for a real rain. Has been very spotty here for over a month. I have several jobs I will be filming. Great comment!!
Exactly. I’m not subscribed until we see the results of their work.
Very good job have a beautiful day
Excellent presentation. Why the T and not a Y fitting?
We bought a new construction home on 5 acres and the ten year old home next to us sold a few months after we got here. We have a stream and low ground on that side of our property. The new neighbors who moved in were very rude and avoidant and we finally discovered the lady measuring our lot lines and one morning she had a guy in the wooded stream area. Lo and behold a buried downspout extension suddenly appeared exiting into our streambed. We asked the guy next door about it and he shrugged his shoulders like what's the big deal? The big deal is that our property is now tied to their home maintenance when it doesnt have to be. Our property line is 100 feet from their home and their yard runs downhill towards out property line and our stream. So we offered to have it moved to their side and install a pop up drain in their yard. He shrugged and said okay. We did it and then went hunting for more buried "surprises" and found one -- another downspout extension buried and running 60 feet into our property, 160 feet from their house. We told them we are going to move that one too unless they object. They didnt. We had drainage professionals do it but now I'm worried because they never go near their new pop up drains. We still have the old remnant of their pipe buried on our land and will dig them up. We think they wanted to use these buried pipes as a claim for adverse possession. It turns out that burying a downspout extension across a property line without the neighbor's approval is not illegal in my state. Of course the developer likely owned the lot at that time they were installed on the neighboring house. The area it is in is called a "drainage yard line" on my survey but it is not an easement for buried structures or people from neighboring lots. It's just a building restriction given the slope and drainage. We have the worst luck with neighbors.
Sorry to hear about your drainage!!
I find this with many customers usually they fix the problem at their own expense😢
I hope you figure it out and even if you have to install new collection system, you can solve the problem
Best Regards

@@appledrains Thank you it was only about $250 per pop up drain and the company we hired did a great job and even looked at the neighbor's downspouts for him (he said he was water around his foundation). So $500 to be rid of these neighbors on our land was a small price to pay.
I have a 4500.00 dollar garage being flooded out every time we get heavy rains.
It's a 5 room metal garage and the front and rear r.s. rooms flood out so bad the center 16 X 24 gets the run off too. Two rooms on left side stay dry as there's a center drain in the main vehicle room.
The neighbor's property to our right is at least 15 inches higher at the property line and the right side of garage is 5ft from property line .
Do some research on French drains. I'm wondering if you could put a low retaining wall on the neighbor's side to channel the water away from the garage?
Just curious, do you ever approach the neighbor to see if they want to split the price and have their down spout connected to the drain as well directly?
Great question. The short answer is yes. Depends on the relationship. Not all neighbors get along. I leave this to whom I am working for to decide.
put river rock around your basins. make mini dry wells.
about how much does a project like that cost from a contractor?
At 17:40 the pipe looks like it’s coming up and creating a high spot that lots of water will get caught behind.
It is not I promise. We check all of our joints and pipe with a level. No sense doing the work if it runs uphill lol.
@@drdrainz3941 makes sense. It’s a video of just a few minutes. I guess some of the work has to be done off camera 😉
Would it make sense to grade first then install drainage. I don’t want the neighbors to continue using my house to dump their water in so I can drain it . I like how he never mentioned grading whenever similar problem arises
Would a "Y" connection have been more appropriate than a "T"?
Is there a toll free number i can call,or do i get intouch with a plumber.just have one to come check,am a senior citizen, no one can direct me to the right source.
What kind of tape sticks to mud? I need some of that
😂😂😂😂
I see you used a T piece for connecting. Should it not be a 45 degree piece?
Yeah you lost me when you used tape to join the pipe together. SDR35 would be a better choice I think
Great video , and of course @5:08 in this video lol lol great
Tape doesn't stick to mud, lulz.
Love your videos! Great one here, appreciate the non-editing, straight take! Question on the tape, though - wouldn't that adhesive give quickly with all the clay mud / moisture still on ? Or is that a special kind of tape? Thanks!
@Hassle Free...."Great one here"?
@@sluggonotnancy6178 Hi Sluggo, I was complimenting the Apple Drains video series, while asking a question. What is your comment question for me? Thanks!
Is corrugated pipe not useless and gets blocked?
Your guy in Raleigh wrapped a gravel preforated pipe in fabric in NC red clay online. LOL! what a mistake.
Not perforated here. Please look carefully first so you have not to write nonsense.
@@mrollivetti Not here in the last video he did.
Love this comment. You can wrap if you incorporate stone and the CORRECT fabric. This is a hot topic in our industry. Usually poo pooed by someone who has not done these in the past or done them incorrectly. Many many videos from many people on you tube showing it works. but most importantly, all states with red clay wrap their drains underground. Check out their dot manuals. To be fair, I have seen it done incorrectly many times with the wrong material. We got you Boo.
Compost Fence Works also, In certain applications.
I also have this exact problem with my home and my neighbors house. However, my landscaper recommends a swale in lieu of trenching for a drain. Is this better or worse?
I'm thinking a swale is always better. You won't have to worry a clogged drain or the pipe freezing if you are in a cold climate. You can always come back and add a drain if the swale isn't working good enough for you.
@@AStanton1966 Yep. I'm in a cold climate.
Great job in Raleigh, NC(my hometown)!!!!
Hello Raleigh! I would say I would stop by and see you, but I am conserving my gas. LOL. Gotta love a shortage!
I deal with a lot of water under my house after a rain. I have 2 sump pumps, one on battery backup. I want to do a catch basin, tie in my sump pump and 1 gutter. Run from the basin about a 100' to a pasture. Problem is I have so much water, it leaves standing water in my field, and in my neighbors field. I always heard, run water to daylight, and it will evaporate, but my land is topsoil and clay, so it is standing water. How do I disperse the water?
What is the name of the tape you used ?
A video showing the system at work after the installation would be useful. Until then, how do we know it works well?
..a couple years it will fail...why the pipe use pvc. It cost a little more but you won't have to come back and do it again
@@stevescooby122 I agree. Shame we never see the systems at work after installation.
At 14:48 minutes: What was that?
You can use the chipping hammer with a wide bit for the white clay instead of a hoe.
Amazing .... What code allows a drain to just run into a neighbouring property?
I'm having a similar issue, where can I find these types of codes that say what is and isn't legal in terms of doing your own work and throwing trees/dumping water in given places??
It's possible that one of the houses wasn't there and just an empty lot next door or even the neighbors sold a vacant lot
TY Sarah
It's obvious that guy pays for labor. Those are apparently left handed, and he isn't..😂😂
We have very similar issue - just feel it is so unfair for one neighbor to have to pay foe another not piping their roof water away… it is one thing when it is natural water flow another when it is downspouts where that neighbor can do soemthing about it
Just look at it as your neigh or doing you a fever and bringing it all to one spot. They could have it dispersed along the whole fence line leaving your whole house at risk. If they focus it to one spot, you can work off that one spot and have it drained. Especially if you're the one that's downhill
What is that black tape called?
Put a ram pump & point the hose back towards the neighbour's window. Problem solved or it will be 😁
What company does this looks good.
Can't the neighbors downspout be adjusted so that the water flows down the driveway instead of into the other neighbors yard?
My patio was getting water in the high spot at one end and I couldn't figure out why, until I noticed a neighbor had a downspout on his screen enclosure that was only a few feet away. I am going to get a downspout extender and have the bottom of the downspout changed so that the water flows to the side instead of towards my patio..This way the water will flow downwards towards his plants in
I have the same issue this is called nuisance you can actually have the townships or zoning to send a letter to your neighbors if your neighbors don’t care about water trespassing you property look up law regulations where you live !what I’m saying here you can sue them in small claim court look at your humidity level they will destroy your cello instrument,mold will grow at 70% ! Check your blood for mold another silent death 💀! Let me ask you something about one thing you forgot to do is test the system if it really works !have a great day!
I’m puzzled too how neighbours can direct their water onto another home owner’s land!?! Should not be legal.
my neighbor planted a tree on property line, damaging my french drain, leading to water building up near my house and making my backyard a swamp. I had to spend money to install alternate drainage, but he still has not removed the trees. the dip between our properties now has water just sitting there from the tree roots blocking outflow of water to street..thinking of going to small claims court too
HOW DOSE THE TAPE STICK TO THE MUD A TITE FIT IT JUST DOST NOT HAPPEN GOOD JOB THOGH
why would the neighbor not put 2 gutter elbows on his gutter and let the water just run down his own driveway knowing your dumping all your roof wateron your neighbor is a pretty crappy thing to let happen im just glad i dont have them as a neighbor but good job for you guys well done
OK This is a franchise operation but why is corrugated black plastic pipe being used when all the other videos insist that solid PVC pipe is the way to go?
That's what she said 😁😁
Really used a trench shovel to dig a hole and a round shovel to dig a trench...
Was trying to figure out why I had so much water on the side of my house. Saw this title and instantly knew. A quick peak through the fence and sure enough, my neighbors down spout is pointed at my side yard.
Great I'm not the only one with this issue. We have an HOA and they results of this problem is to confront out neighbors about their pipes pointing into our yard under ground.
The question is would that water come to your house regardless of it being pointed there? In my case, the answer is yes, as I am downhill.
@@SeanBaker No I wouldn't normally get that water. After the neighbor added her gutters the water was directed at my side yard and it eroded the soil after killing the grass. I've since added back the soil and a small barrier that seems to be helping. I'm probably gonna have to add soil every year or so unless I can get something to grow. I may plant irises cause they can stand sitting in water.
@@bonitab6498 ugh! I'm definitely gonna dig this four inch wide trench and add some perforated PVC pipe and gravel. I don't need my trench to be too long, so I think it's really manageable.
@@bonitab6498 I have gotten some advice.....it was recommended to plant Emerald Cedars since they soak up infinite amounts of water.....so i am doing it!!! Good luck.
I’m always suspect of contractors who have all brand new tools!
The elephant in the room is the neighbor’s down spout. How friggin ignorant not to kick in a few bucks and attach that corner spout to the buried line! Train the customer’s dog to crap only in the neighbor’s yard
Or ask the neighbor to tap into his downspout?
very sticky mud ,like my house 😔
Should have sent this to the guy screwed by the town of Cary #localjoke
How many fuc***g ads can you tube squeeze in
Doesn't look right to me, dirty install
Awesome. Gotta have at least a few haters. Let's me know I am doing something right Thanks for commenting!
@@drdrainz3941 Haters? No, just people who point out your terrible workmanship.
Agreed 100 percent. Terrible installation.
@@vegasfordguy especially with the corrugated pipe. that stuff is terrible for water flow and it catches all the debris.
Bill , I'm agreeing with you. This video should not be view as profession job. Look like first timer job with little of knowledge of drain or lazy fly by night for fast bucks.
Tape? Woah no
And now all the grass dies over the drain pipe…
@@elcrackodiablo473 WOW!
The question of the day. Is he still dating the bosses daughter
Your breathing I out of control. Move your Microphone dude
Tape around the T 👎
Omg dude grab a rag and clean the pipe that tape was useless in your case. It DID NOT STICK
That type of tubing is junk.
Not as good as Chuck’s videos
That’s wrong , I build drain for neighbor . Not right. Neighbor should be respectfully himself digging and set up drainage .
