How To Run a Pipe Under a Slab or Sidewalk With a Garden Hose

  • PLEASE READ: This sums up the process on how to get the pipe line under the slab. Keep in mind I ran my pipe as close as possible to the slab. I backfilled the hole back in after I made the video so the ground would have support. You must re fill the hole to do this correctly. If you don’t, you run the risk of the concrete cracking over time. You can also dig your side holes much deeper and run the pipe under the slab at a deeper level and this will allow the concrete to bear on the soil below without having an air gap. Backfilling or refilling the hole is recommended in both scenarios.

    Great video. Simple. To the point. No extra useless details like what time you woke up to get started, how your neighbor lost his job, how many dogs you own and the cat that lives across the street. 😳😂. Just the facts. Thanks man. Keep it up

    I am 61 years old and ran a pvc pipe under my sidewalk. It took you about a minute and a half. It took me about 45 minutes and I was covered in mud. Ha! Wish I would have seen your video first....but I am feeling very accomplished!

    For many of us with existing plants on both or either sides shooting water can be a mess. Far neater is to simply take a short section of pvc pipe, cut it on a diagonal (like a hypodermic needle that's on a slant and hollow inside) and then push the pipe through a few inches at a time, pull the pipe out with the dirt inside, then take a smaller in diameter metal rod and push it through the pipe to knock out the dirt, then reinsert the pipe again. This eliminates the mess and clean up of mud.

      I guess you could attach a vacuum to the end and if the soil is soft enough it would suck it clear.

    Super! This is about the fifth video I've watched. The others required deep trenching, power washers, and even a special (high cost?) ramming device. Yours? The length pipe going under the sidewalk, and a foot of duct tape! Doesn't get better or easier then that.
