  • We're going to show you the easiest way to install an underground buried downspout system. You don't have to rent a sod cutter or a back hoe. You don't need any tools and you don't need a crew of men either. We're going to run a three inch pipe. So we can go right over top of the sprinkler system without having to relocate all the sprinkler lines. A three inch line is plenty. Three inch corrugated pipe is the ideal pipe for underground buried downspout systems. You want to have an inline catch Basin, a pop-up emitter and about 24 to 25 feet of three inch pipe. This is the ideal DIY kit. It's a professional grade, heavy duty DIY kit purpose built for the homeowner. Everything's already set up to connect and just snap. Easy! No tools required.

No messy glues. In Fall there will be a big product release, the patent has 50 claims along. I put every penny back into this business. It seems I'm the only one who's truly looking out for the homeowner in this industry. We have 4 years of new products slated. It's a ambitious goal but I'm not getting any younger.

Ive been stressed and no idea what to do but thankful for videos it gave me courage and knowledge to want to do it myself. I cant hire anyone so much stuff is eating my pockets atm havent even lived here for a year yet. I dont wnt to do supper cheap way but i still don't want to blow what little money i have. Any rec of the most basic and cost efficient Kits you have on your website for french drain system to help fix my problem? having a hard time finding a kit they all look $$ expensive for me with the extra palat crate of delivery fee.

    I have 3 down spouts going into my backyard. I was planning on using your new down spout devices into solid armor (about 15-25 long) and attaching them to wye's in the yard and then on the out of the wye's into slit cut at the lower end of the yard because of sitting water in the summer in that area (putting it in stone and your fabric) and then connecting the slit cut to a drain at the end of my property. Do I need the pop ups or turf restrictor plates since it is going into a drain? Since I am in northeast Ohio I am also adding roof wires to the down spouts to help with the front freezing.

    The inline catch basin and end pop up will freeze solid with ice. Highly recommend putting a rock dry well under the catch basin with allowance for the basin to drain out as well as a ‘T’ fitting at the pop up with a couple of cubic foot French drain rock again to allow melt off to drain out

    Excellent video. Thanks. What do I do if I have a narrow side yard with big 24” concrete pavers as a path so I only have a narrow band between the pavers and the house (only a foot at spots) to run the correlated drain line for 2 downspouts and there is an irrigation line there too doing the same run? Do I cut out the irrigation pipe out, install the corrugated pipe below it, and then reinstall the sprinkler pipe above it? Or just dig around it and try and squeeze the corrugated pipe underneath for the whole run? Thanks

    • @FRENCHDRAINMAN
      @FRENCHDRAINMAN  3 месяца назад

      For decades, we've been handling this wrong. And using a 4 inch pipe where a 4 inch pipe should not be used. If you use one of our 3-inch kits, you can run it over the sprinkler pipe and not have to cut or remove the sprinkler pipe. The reason why our hands were tied with the four inch pipe was because people were trying to push big tree leaves through their underground system. I knew as soon as our Leaf filter gutter adapter product hit the market for screening out the leaves, I was gonna switch the majority of my kits over to 3 inch pipe because there was no need for a 4 inch pipe anymore outside of a 4 inch main pipe if you tied 3, 4 or 5 downspouts into one main pipe.

The pop up emitter will be about 40-45ft from the house and I live in New england where it gets below freezing. Once I know the answer I am going to pull the trigger on your kit. THANK YOU!!

    • @FRENCHDRAINMAN
      @FRENCHDRAINMAN  Год назад +1

      We don't have 3" knife cut. Our reason is because 4" holds 56% more water than 3" pipe. Just put pea stone around the pop-up emitter and have holes in the bottom. Remember if you freeze up the Vent Cleanout will let the water out during a thaw. The catch basin vents too.

    I was going to use PVC and cement all my connections, until i saw the 3" one piece were using. When you started cutting it, your "For me" was over. My discharge level will be the same as the downspout level, therefore my horizontal will always hold water. I do not have the luxury of transporting this water with a slope. Because of this situation, I do not want to use corrugated, because each connection will leak and saturate the ground. If I use PVC and cement each connection and also add a pop-up at the discharge end, would this project be possible and/or successful?

    My downspouts let water pile up 3-5ft from my house causing basement flooding. Having holes all around the black pipe, doesn't that let the water out right in front of the house? Shouldn't there be no holes for the first 10ft or so, so the water can travel further? I am afraid the water will just seep out giving me the same issue. Also, doesn't dirt get in the holes?

    This is great! I have two of them on my house after I replaced the existing drains that were clogged.
    A new product idea would be an improvement on the wye connector. The 3” ADS wye does not fit well. It would also be better for the wye to have an internal connector on the exit point which goes inside the 3inch corrugated pipe so the water is flowing inside at all times. Same goes for the ADS external coupler (3” to 3”). The top connection should be external but the exit point should go inside the corrugated pipe. The downspout filter is great because the bottom snaps inside the 3” inch corrugated pipe
