A lot of times dumping basement water onto the yard just ends up back in the basement. It's a Neverending cycle. Get it far away from the property and it'll probably not run as often or maybe never. Unless their roof is dumping against the foundation.
@@tyelandscapinganddrainage great to see good work done by experienced and conscience folk. Even so if proper perimeter drains and foundation wall waterproofing are done properly, there is ample drop available to the municiple storm drain/sewer, to allow for free drainage? That alone should stop the bulk of the work for the pump/s. Dealing with the high water table is definatly a hard issue too deal with .. but two separated systems might sort most of it. My own property has same issue, hard clay about 2ft below finished grade and as water migrates down slope so we were getting more than was reasonable. So I installed a hard field drain ( 4" perf with 3/4 washed crush) around property at property line at about 3ft below finish grade that ran into a 4'x6' sump at lower corner of property frontage. That allowed us to use it as catch basin for sed trap. and then outfall to city storm system and also during watering restrictions we then could turn pump on to top up our 800liter ( 160gal-ish ) water butt for garden irrigation.. Again enjoy your show, young folk and some older would do well to watch and learn..obviously regional rules will vary but basics are the same. Cheers.

Great job. It's funny how some towns don't want you going right into the street drains, and others demand it. I bet their sumps will slow down a bit now that all that water is off the property.
Thanks for your videos. Myself i have over fifth year experience working heavily construction, building huge housing suites, freeway construction, lot underground work ,sewer, storm drains, water main line insulation.
You always seem to approach these jobs in a thoughtful, thorough, detailed manner. Enjoyable to watch people who actually care about the quality of their work.
Maga, thank you for taking the time to write this fantastic comment. Your compliments are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much and have a great day, Tom
Great work I like the quality of workmanship. I would also tie in the rain gutters to these 4 inch pipes so they can drain well and make sure the downpipes have a rectangular hole 2x3 or ideally a 3x4 downpipe with 3x4 hole.
Interesting issues with that ground water. The house sits high enough, but pumps seem to be collecting more than would normally be expected? No doubt you guys have well sorted the out the issues with uncontrolled drainage, but as others mentioned the bills for those pumps to run plus the wear and tear must be significant.. Is there a perimeter drain around the house and crawl space? I had a house renovation several years ago with similar problem. With us it turned out ground water on the lot was being collected and back fed to sump pump in crawl space because perimeter drainage, and foundation waterproofing was incorrectly installed with out enough fall to the municiple start system despite significant available drop at property front.. we dropped the perimeter drains to proper level, and lowered the drain to ensure free flow at frontage.. thereby, pump became redundant as system the drained freely, the landscape contractor also installed additional field drainage around and across the back yard controlling surface drainage joining his system to ours at front of house.. Really enjoy your videos, as it is insight into groundwater solutions in a differant region..
You are right Doonhamer. There is no perimeter drain and they have a basement. This is a young couple and this is their first house. I also don't know how long they plan to stay in this house. They've gone the more budget friendly way of fixing this issue. If it were me and I planned on living in this house for 30 or more years I would definitely do a big water proofing of the foundation and have a french drain installed at the footer. The work we did was just a small fraction of what that would cost. Thank you for comment and enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tom
Very funny noname. They we’re taking to us about some landscape work. So I think they want to start fixing up the outside. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tom
Great video. I will definitely be watching more videos. I had bamboo at my house that the previous owner planted. I had it removed and im so happy i did. I wouldn't wish bamboo on my worst enemy lol
Thank you very much Spudman. Removing the bamboo was a big job and very expensive at this house. And, apparently there are only a couple companies that remove bamboo. Thanks again and I hope you have a great day, Tom
@@tyelandscapinganddrainage yeah it probably cost me 1500. And yeah a lot of companies don't want to mess with it. And there are a lot of places that won't accept it when you dump it there. Luckily I got it taken care of. I have a few stalks growing but it's much more manageable.
... My alarm system told me that there is a new Tye Landscaping Video online sice some 30 minutes. Warm greetings from Germany from Oliver! And now let me start...
Great job solving the errosion problems. Bit strange that so much water is going into the sump when the house is on a hill. Wonder if their gutters aren't plumbed right and water is making its way to the sumps.
Wow Anleme, thank you for your incredibly awesome comment. Your kind words and compliments are very much appreciated. You have us energized and we can't wait to work on the next video. Thank you very much! Tom & Dawn

@@tyelandscapinganddrainage Awesome great info, Also, What about the metal hooks? trying to put something together to move sidewalks with my own excavator.
I really enjoy your videos. I am starting my own excavation company mostly smaller jobs. I have a neighbor that wants her yard tiled but it so wet I can’t do it. It’s been two years and it’s just not drying out. I am going to start with a French drain and see if that helps. I believe her yard is full of springs.
Thank you PuddleJumper. Congratulations on starting your new business. Good luck with your neighbor. It sounds like anything you do will be an improvement.
Find out where the water is coming from. French drain is an underground collection device. First place to look is usually where the roof water goes. If water starts out above ground, keep it above ground and divert it.
Thank you very much Jim. We were happy Nick could give us a hand with this one. It looks like the rain is over and you have some good weather ahead of you in Raleigh. Have a great day, Tom
That was great work! Hard to find a company that’s neat,, and cares for property. I love to see the water flowing! You should post an update after a little time has passed to see how things look and dried out.
@@tyelandscapinganddrainageis there ever a way to really solve that question? I have the same issue in my new house. The sump drains to a storm sewer, but my sump still runs ever 5-15 minutes.
@@tyelandscapinganddrainage that is true, and we have two pumps and battery system just in case. Have you ever seen a foundation ruined from constant groundwater under the house, even if the sump is working properly?
The homeowners should try to apply some waterproofing on the outside basement walls, to try to slow the flow of water into their house. Although it wouldn't matter much if the water is rising up through their concrete floor. If that was the case, they would need to removed the basement slab floor and try to plastic under the floor. Maybe they could put gravity fed french drains all around the basement and under the slab?
10/10, the only thing I'd have done different is I'd have used white pipe & not the sewage-green pipe. In my area they have been keeping the white in stock where probably 2 years ago the green was all that was available in SDR 35(locally in stock).
Thank you very much Bob. They don’t sell the sdr 35 in white around here. I didn’t know it came in anything other than green until I saw some YT channels installing the white. Thank you again for your compliment and happy eclipse day. We’re here working and waiting for it to start getting dark. Tom
Am I the only one who sees that there might be a bigger problem. It seems like the dirt is just soaking up all the water. What they need to do is remove the dirt from the side of the house and put in clay, she had said it hadn't rained in a couple of weeks but where is all that water coming from? It just seems there might be some other bigger issues 🤔
Others have said that too Sandhu. I'm not saying you’re wrong, but they have a high water table. You can see the water coming through the bricks of the basin at 08:39. You can also see ground water coming up in the trench at 09:43. Look at the level of the water in the pipe at 05:19. That water doesn't move. That's the level of the stream 1 house away. Dawn even mentions we saw fish in there. I believe that water is at their basement level which would be about 8 feet below the front door. They also have a marsh behind them. Thank you for your observations and have a great weekend, Tom
Anthony, the hay/straw stops the seed from being washed away in a heavy rain, it covers and protects the seed from birds, it holds moisture and stops erosion of the soil until the seed germinates.
Another Great Video One question what's the difference from the white and blue pipe. Is the white pipe thicker wall and used when going under driveway or any place you will have vehicle traffic/weight. That yard will be nice and dry now having the water go into the storm drain. As always I enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing them.
Thank you very much James. In this video the white pipe is a stronger pipe we used to go under the driveway. The white is sch40. The blue is sdr35. Both are strong pipes, but the white is stronger. Thank you for your compliments and have a great evening, Tom
You look like your having lots of fun. You might want to consider getting a manhole hook. You can let the hook take the place of the fingers. The driveway always has two layers of the asphalt paving. One is the base, and the other one is the final layer.
Thank you William. We have a manhole hook. This grate didn’t have angle iron on the basin side. I learned the hard way to use the mini on those. The grate doesn’t slide off. It drops in. Thanks again and have a great weekend, Tom
Just a question since the diging was done already would it not be a good idea to put 1 extra 4 inch flexible pipe for french drain so the yard dries up faster fron the rain. Like the high octane 4 inch flexible pipe. Or is this not necesaary due to the good slope away from the house
The house seems to be up on a hill. Groundwater would be a problem in lower areas, even with the low basement. My guess would be there's an underground stream flowing to the foundation of the house. I think I'd dig holes in the backyard to locate it and then find a way to divert it. It's not good to have that much water going into the house no matter how many pumps or backups you have.
Thank you. The engineer didn’t specify that it had to have an access riser. This is what our plumbing supplier said would pass inspection and it did. Thanks again, Tom
it's great to see someone use a power tamper instead the bucket on the hoe what's going to happen to the sidewalk slab when the rain and snow comes nothing good.
Awesome, no call before you dig 👍. Why wouldn't you gopher that discharge under the driveway instead of cutting it? That 6" cold patch will be destroyed in one winter
You can see mark out flags throughout most of the video starting at 02:03. Only water and gas is marked. Everything else is in the air. The customer is aware that cold patch is a temporary fix and they plan to get a new driveway in the future.
As a landscaper and plumber I LOVE watching your videos. One thing that bothers me is you use outdoor glue for pvc but you don’t prime it. Therefore you are not completing the actual process of gluing the pipe together. I learned a long time ago that pvc primer softens the pipe up and the glue adheres better to the pipe creating an actual plastic weld other than that. Keep up the great work!
Streb, Thank you for your compliment. I remember learning that about primer too. I've said in other videos that we use primer when gluing pipe that's under pressure like a sump pump discharge. We show the clear primer that we like. For regular pipe we use Fusion - clear cement for the white downspout pipes and Rain R Shine for regular pipe runs. Both of those are all in ones, or single step products. It states on the can that 'priming step is not necessary for non pressure pipe' and 'This medium body, low VOC cement eliminates the need for primer in PVC projects, saving time, money and cleanup.' Have a great day, Tom
Ben, we always use a mallet on pipe to pipe with bell ends. We make sure we drive them all the way home. Pipe to fitting usually go in easier and don’t need the mallet.
The customer was only concerned about the sump pump discharges. On the permit application I said we would only tie in the 2 sump pumps. I believe the downspouts are already run underground to the far back of the property.
it is certainly nice to be in an area where they allow you to lift and move the sidewalk. unfortunately, some don't have that luxury as more and more towns here in the Northeast will not allow you to touch the sidewalk without an engineer involved. we work in several towns that have ordinances against going under the sidewalk, into the sewer system. take advantage of it while you can, as soon as someone with a "green agenda" gets into power in your area it will be a much different game. very nice video as always, keep up the great work!
Thank you Ken. There are towns around here that are more strict and have the same rules you’re talking about. We just don’t work in those towns. I've never heard of not being able to dig under a sidewalk. Some towns here have a rule that you can't lift and then put it back. If you remove sidewalk to install a pipe you have to pour a new square. Thank you for your comment and have a good weekend, Tom
Yes, we talked a number of times about the engineer requiring us to install a back flow valve on the permit. We also show the engineer inspecting and approving the hookup at 09:56
It’s a clean out, not an inlet. They have the exact same clean out cover for their sanitary sewer pipe. People see that and they know exactly what it is. Plus, the threaded plug keeps dirt and debris out and water in. Tom
Quality work if I ever I saw it. Now that is a hard working woman! She is probably going home to fix supper, do the laundry, and clean the house when she is through here!

Will their basement flood if the power goes out and the pump can't run?

You can see mark out flags throughout most of the video starting at 02:03. Only water and gas is marked. Everything else is in the air. The customer is aware that cold patch is a temporary fix and they plan to get a new driveway in the future.
As a landscaper and plumber I LOVE watching your videos. One thing that bothers me is you use outdoor glue for pvc but you don’t prime it.
Therefore you are not completing the actual process of gluing the pipe together. I learned a long time ago that pvc primer softens the pipe up and the glue adheres better to the pipe creating an actual plastic weld other than that. Keep up the great work!
Streb, Thank you for your compliment. I remember learning that about primer too. I've said in other videos that we use primer when gluing pipe that's under pressure like a sump pump discharge. We show the clear primer that we like. For regular pipe we use Fusion - clear cement for the white downspout pipes and Rain R Shine for regular pipe runs. Both of those are all in ones, or single step products. It states on the can that 'priming step is not necessary for non pressure pipe' and 'This medium body, low VOC cement eliminates the need for primer in PVC projects, saving time, money and cleanup.' Have a great day, Tom
I noticed you guys don’t always glue both the fitting and the pipe. Maybe this is why you need to use a mallet to get your joints together?
Ben, we always use a mallet on pipe to pipe with bell ends. We make sure we drive them all the way home. Pipe to fitting usually go in easier and don’t need the mallet.
Any reason why you didn't also catch the nearby gutter down spouts near the drain pipe?
The customer was only concerned about the sump pump discharges. On the permit application I said we would only tie in the 2 sump pumps. I believe the downspouts are already run underground to the far back of the property.
it is certainly nice to be in an area where they allow you to lift and move the sidewalk. unfortunately, some don't have that luxury as more and more towns here in the Northeast will not allow you to touch the sidewalk without an engineer involved. we work in several towns that have ordinances against going under the sidewalk, into the sewer system. take advantage of it while you can, as soon as someone with a "green agenda" gets into power in your area it will be a much different game. very nice video as always, keep up the great work!
Thank you Ken. There are towns around here that are more strict and have the same rules you’re talking about. We just don’t work in those towns. I've never heard of not being able to dig under a sidewalk. Some towns here have a rule that you can't lift and then put it back. If you remove sidewalk to install a pipe you have to pour a new square. Thank you for your comment and have a good weekend, Tom
Did you get a permit to do this?
Yes, we talked a number of times about the engineer requiring us to install a back flow valve on the permit. We also show the engineer inspecting and approving the hookup at 09:56
Why don't you use the green grate instead of those white clean outs, they look ugly on the grass.
It’s a clean out, not an inlet. They have the exact same clean out cover for their sanitary sewer pipe. People see that and they know exactly what it is. Plus, the threaded plug keeps dirt and debris out and water in. Tom
Gate City foundation drainage channel has a trencher that'll do that trenching instantly
Its crazy seeing this old lady limping around doing this kind of work
Should she stay home and take up crocheting? She can out work anyone we've ever hired.
@@tyelandscapinganddrainage no saying its bad. just unusual
Beautiful job.
Thank you Brent. Have a great weekend, Tom
