Sometimes The Problem Isn't Obvious

  • We had a problem at work that was years in the making. A plugged catch basin tile was causing the driveway to flood every time it rained. We thought we would discover a drain pipe that was plugged up but what may have been wrong was not obvious. We came up with a solution despite not discovering what was wrong.

    Looks like a catch basin with a sump that can be cleaned out would be a good idea. It lets the heavier sediment settle out before it runs into the pipe. I didn't go through all the comments, so it may have been noted already. Good video, as usual. The long selfie stick was a cool camera angle from the truck cab.

    • @digdrivediy

      This does have a sump. It has a P-trap that allows sediment to collect in the bottom before water runs out the top.

    Great video Neil. Where I live the state requires on there projects one more step to the draining process. Before you install pipe in ditch. Use filter fabric. Run fabric down ditch wall, across bottom back up wall on other side. Install pipe in ditch. Backfill with 9 s then. Don’t completely fill too top. Flip filter fabric over on top of each other with the tails you left extra. Take tie wire etc to hold covering flaps. Cap the the 9s ditch with driveway gravel. Now 9 s and pipe are dirt or silt free for many years. Great content.

    You are correct when you said that if you were trying to miss a tile in the field, you'd hit it right away with the hoe. I don't know why it works that way, but it does. Those "little jobs" always turn into much more than we intended originally.
    Thanks for sharing my friend. Happy Sunday.

    As a full time videographer, I SO appreciate the addition of the 360 cam. It gets such cool shots giving a very unique perspective. I know it takes a lot of time too process that footage, but man is it worth it. I just got a 360 camera for my job running a RUclips channel in the boating space, and it helps us get shots we never could with a drone or a go pro. excellent video as always, Neil!

    Fernco’s can be an absolute life saver.

    Just an example of having a lot of different ways to do the same thing.

    In eastern Canada, most of our FO cables are up on poles.
    Anyway, the support strand embedded in the cable jacket is reportedly Kevlar, not conductive steel.
    They do this to prevent lightning strikes riding the support strand. Being FO, no need to worry about lightning.

    Great work!
    Interesting to see your old “tiles” are simply abutting each previous segment without a connector. We grew up with clay tile sewer pipe with each connection mortared to the previous. The individual pipes on one end, had a “female“ connector (like pvc conduit), the next piece of clay pipe was inserted there and that joint was then grouted. However, we all know that concrete and mortar are somewhat pervious to water, and as they would “weep” a bit over time those rich nutrients would attract roots - and then the problems began!.
    Do y’all just not have roots that far down?
