How to Ruin a French Drain One of the Biggest Mistakes Drainage Contractors Make

- Never put the dirt back in. That's one of the biggest mistakes I see drainage contractors making.
We took all this dirt out and put in a drainage system. None of that dirt's going back in. If you're putting the dirt back in you're compromising all your hard work and all your money spent.
Instead fill the entire French drain with a good washed rock. There's no better drainage system than a gravel drain. With the gravel coming right to the surface and then it gets burrito wrapped in fabric. It's going to be 100 percent fully contained so no contaminants can get in. It'll never need maintenance or cleaning. The sod will grow over it as long as you take enough root. But never put dirt back in. When you excavate dirt, get it out of there.

How to Ruin a French Drain with Dirt. One of the Biggest Mistakes I See Drainage Contractors Make

Man, every time it rained we had 3-5 inches of water in our basement. I followed your instructions and never had a drop since. Thanks so much !!!
You’re French drain stopped water from going under your house? Having the same problem
@@manjarrezramon absolutely. I did two French drains. Both of them from back yard all the way down both sides of house and i mean down both sides clear down about 6 feet deep
On both sides of house out to front yard. I hinge watched everything the French drain man talked about. I even called the company in Michigan to order his pipe but it was just too much to ship. Did separate
Solid pipe from all my gutters. Not a single drop of water inside anymore. You have to remember putting a basement in home, is basically like building a house in a bowl of soup. You have to have a way of getting the majority of the water out of that hole and giving it a place to go. Water will always go to the path of least resistance.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve also been watching French drain videos non stop. got my trench about a third of the way dug. This gives me hope this will fix my problem.
Well, this is good to know.
Thanks for your helpful comments. My sump pump keeps running. I'm trying to learn what to do. I just bought a house with trash drainage that was missed during inspecting. I added a non perforated house going 50 ft away from my house at a slope. I could help a third world country how much water is being pumped out. The previous hose collapsed and the culverts are clogged. Your post gives me hope. My line isn't buried yet. Just a temp fix as I learn what is needed. My downspouts also suck. I'm in se michigan.
I didn’t know putting the dirt back was even an option
You get what you pay for
Fitting that the French drain is the kind that just gave up
@trollolol705 if the drain is properly filled with gravel there's no room for the dirt to "go" back in..
I was about to say the exact same thing.
You'd be surprised, costs money to move dirt
This is good general advice for many areas of your life.
“When you take the dirt out, never put it back in.”

Yep. Once you remove the cancer, don't invite it back over for drinks.
It depends.
@@ShoutsWillEcho1yeah, like are the feds gonna see it or not?
Unless it’s a grave
Good advise. Gotta be sure to have adequate spacing between the rock and grass root bed or the sun will cook your grass lying on top of the drain.
ruclips.net/video/VFYj7sbmXGg/видео.html
That may work in your area but in the hot south that grass will cook in days. In this area you need at least a foot of new soil before the drain, and sometimes is still burns. @@FRENCHDRAINMAN
Yeah but can you play 36 holes on it during the day and get stoned to the bejesus every night?
@@davelew86 that's the beauty about that.
@@davelew86 and thank God for that.
I did little research on french drains for my yard. I did put the dirt back in and to my surprise I still had the problem. So I had to dig up the dirt again and I used rock instead. Worked like a charm. Go figure... lol
ruclips.net/user/shortsnyxCkRWL4w8?si=pwbDJSsyB_KQ5bhd
Guilty as charged...
What are these drainage systems for, the lawn? I’m confused start to finish
@@missbelle13222
I'm confused too and
I dug one. lol...
I get standing water along the side of my houses after a heavy rain. I want to "drain" the water away, French drains hide the
PVC or Corrugated pipe under the lawn or flower beds, ect...
If you look it up,
a picture is worth a
thousand words. : )

“Hey, what’s that brown stripe in your lawn?”
“Sod my drain guy said would root into fabric.”
Need sprinklers when you do this otherwise put 50% topsoil 50% sand mixed
@FRENCHDRAINMAN Ph so you do put dirt back in. 😂
Hes absolutely right, backfill over the liner would ideally be a composite mixture with a higher infiltration rate (sand, silty loam) than the spoil that was removed, drain is deep enough for the turf at grade to have a 3-4 inch root zone, which is sufficient for pretty much all cool and warm season turf types. Guy knows his shit
Some people put fake turf over so the grass slowly grows in from the sides.
@@chillynewberg2652
Best if you sat this one out.
You need at least 4" of top soil for the grass to take hold and and not die in the hot summer sun.
Exactly my friend I've installed the whole bunch of these. Cover the burrito another layer of fabric three or four inches of soil and meet the soil height with the existing grass sod that you cut out with a sod cutter . And It was like you weren't even there🥲👍
You took the words right from my mouth.
So not true
@@wadeschmitt9798what isnt true? That the roots need atleast 4" of soil to retain and hold moisture so they dont get heat stressed midday? Because that is absolutely fact.
He's a plumber, not a landscaper.
Exactly, you'd be surprised at how many times my old boss would lose his marbles for my crew bringing back the "dirt" from jobs. Finally I had to SIT HIM DOWN AND EXPLAIN TO HIM STEP-BY-STEP WHY I DID IT THIS WAY. THE LOOK ON HIS FACE OF ACTUALLY LEARNING HOW TO PROPERLY FINISH JOB, WAS EXTREMELY SATISFYING. (Mainly because he always had me pictured as being the "slow-one". So for ME even though I ran circles around most of his other employees, he never would show me the "atta-boy". So when i had the chance to mush his face in something he was doing wrong for YEARS, I didn't. I simply explained logic. Dirt could get back through the holes, and eventually result in "back up/blocked drainage systems. Shortly afterward I was promoted to foreman on the irrigation/fertilization side of the companyn plus a SIZABLE INCREASE IN WAGES.(Well deserved if i do say so myself!)
That's a life changing moment right there
Always nice when the older guys listen to your suggestions / ideas instead of being stubborn and brushing you off because your young lol.
Good for you bringing up a valid point, and good on him for recognizing your abilities.
Slow and steady man, slow and steady.
Please! 😂
As a regular car mechanic, I agree, never put the dirt back in.
As a family physician, I agree. Never put the dirt back in.
"It will never need maintenance or cleaning". Yeah, never say never.
ruclips.net/video/wPkMB7qlUSo/видео.htmlsi=jbNqFQoQ9wiIzjKG
Because they forgot the contractors name by the time the roots and silt clog up the undulating pipe.
Famous first words
You know what works even better and is cheaper and easier to install? A straight pipe with a couple of catch basins and grates.
@@nathancullen9919to catch rain and run off yes but not for ground water which is what french drains are usually used for. I don't landscape I work pipeline construction pretty much do everything from 4" to 96" storm drain and area drain and we always put dirt back that's what the felt i blocks dirt and let water in
Whenever a contractor says something will "never need maintenance". I get really spooked.
😇
Got himself a fill-dirt business as well. 😂
I wish that was true. Fuel is to expensive to take it where it's needed. We get nothing for it and sometimes have to pay to dump.
And the extra cost of all that rock.
@@FRENCHDRAINMANthere are companies/apps/websites that pairs people together that need fill dirt, mulch or wood. There is a small cost on the side of the person looking to get rid of the material (on chip drop it’s $20 per drop but I don’t think they do dirt, Dirt Match is $30 per month and you get unlimited drops) and free for the receiver, but you might want to look into it. You can search for free, but you might be able to find someone within a few miles of the job your at where you can haul the job spoils to.
@@FRENCHDRAINMANU need a Dump spot or Holding Area for Surplus Fill or Line up People willing to take or pay for it in Advance. Keep keeping On. Gots me a 4" drain in my D way. Rocks and seed screen with rubber Roofing....
Absolutely selling that soil as topsoil to some gardening place or something.
That burrito wrap is super important because the gravel itself has zero porosity so if silt gets into the spaces it stops being a drain just like that original soil. Which is why thats good advice dont put impermeable stuff where you expect water to drain
the rocks. gravel is the assembly of rock fragments. gravel has tons of porosity/permeability. rock, generally speaking, does not. silt is also not the biggest concern, as it lacks cohesion, is really susceptible to be eroded while the drain is active. it only a problem if you overbuild the french drain so the flow becomes laminar o close to it so you end up with a net depositional environment. the problem is clay. clay is sticky and will slowly seal away the macro porosities in the gravel.
It's no longer a drain if you put dirt back in it. Might as well dig a ditch and put the dirt back in.
Even a culvert under your driveway gets clogged up with dirt and has to be cleaned out regularly.
If you wrap plastic all the way around the drain, how does the water get in the trench?
@@HkLY45 it's not plastic. It's more like a cloth.
Funny thing I did do the soil 6 years ago and it STILL drains perfectly.
ruclips.net/video/wPkMB7qlUSo/видео.htmlsi=MQ4eKtN19YCkBgE9
Six years is hardly a testimonial. Common life expenctancy of a professional French Drain is 25 years at least. Done right it could last 50+ years.
RUclips is not to be trusted. What is the composition of the soil where he is? Is it more sand/dirt, or more clay/dirt, how rocky is it, filled with large rocks or some pebbles in the sand-dirt?
@JesseSargentSoG those are big IFs and Whataboutisms.. no contractor will ever guarantee their work for that long. All fabric breaks down after 7 years or more. it's just nature.
@@lolwtnick4362 *as a contractor,* i never made the claim that a contractor would make such a guarantee. The contractor doesn't engineer and manufacture the actual building and construction products, he merely uses them in conjunction.
*It appears that neither building materials /physics nor supply chain / distribution are your topical fortes.* Nor is engineering; the science of solving _"what if"_ with _"what about.."_
Socialists can't debate real matters. You forgot your element is not with much depth.
_"Seven years -_*_or more_*_-"_ Way to say nothing. Incredible.
@@SergeantSquaredThe French drains found on Oak Island in Nova Scotia Canada used coconut fiber for its resistance to biodegradation for the burrito wrap and they were still intact and functioning after hundreds of years of exposure to sea water.
I've done french drains and this is the absolute best advice offered. KUDOS to you sir! 👏
With that nice deep trench and rock, when you properly top the drain with a 4"-6" bed of the same soil the rest of the turf grows in, you'll have excellent drainage...and healthy sod over the drain. Otherwise you'll be wasting water trying to keep those sod strips looking good because their root zone does not retain water like the surrounding turf does; contributing to the drainage problem you're trying to alleviate.
ruclips.net/video/wPkMB7qlUSo/видео.htmlsi=UygalOOZKb6u-zyq
Just learned something new Thank you priceless information
I've done hundreds of these. I totally agree. Hardly any company does this. Im so glad i got out of the business because no homeowners even care or want to pay the cost
I’d never heard of a bredle wrap. Then he clarified, “Burrito Wrap” 😂
👍
The sod will die, ir will dry out far more quickly than the surrounding lawn. So, you'll have working french drains, but you'll also have an 18" and very loooooong strip of dead grass for the rest of your life.
ruclips.net/video/wPkMB7qlUSo/видео.html
Add a strip of Astro turf over the drain.
I was thinking the same thing. Shallow roots will dry out easily.
Buffalo doesn't have deep roots so I think it's a matter of selecting the correct grass . Iv had it grow over concrete
As long as you water it Dick Wald it won’t dry out good day Sir
"It'll never need maintenance or cleaning" RIGHT!!
Correct
Thanks for the education. I’ve been running this around in my head for 6 months. I need to do this in my backyard.
ruclips.net/video/wPkMB7qlUSo/видео.htmlsi=MQ4eKtN19YCkBgE9
The guy gave us a good tip. I need to do the same due to a a wet spot outback.
I have covered several French drains exactly like he's done and then added 3 inches of sand and one inch of topsoil then put grass down and I have never ever had a problem and I've done 40 of those type of French drains just like that and I've never had the problem doing it the way I just said. OH IT IS IN FL.

Lol.....old tires in a 3m X 3m pit. Ive put in french drains 20 years ago, that still work. 🍻👍🇿🇦
@williamsemonite326 what si the difference?
You are absolutely correct. Never put the dirt back in the trench. Get it out of there and put in some good wash rock.
Finally someone doing it right! I was inspecting a construction site in Germany when the workers did it wrong and gave me attitude. I took some pictures and let them know that they'll have to redo it...
🤔 would have thought you'd put a little bit of the dirt on top of the rap before the sod went in to keep some moisture on the roots, we don't have sprinklers in the yard here
ruclips.net/video/wPkMB7qlUSo/видео.html
I always do. Either way sediment is going to get through that wrap eventually anyway

I have no idea about drains, but if I ever need directions, I hope I get someone like you.
I've covered French drains with dirt for 30 years. Never a problem. After you cover the pipe with gravel, cover that with landscape cloth so that the dirt can't wash into the pipe or gravel.
You dont need all that rock. Set your pipe in some good sand and cover 3 ft if it in #6 wash rock and throw your dirt ontop. Your exsposing it to freezing in the winter its alot easier for frost to get thru rock then it is dirt. Ive done septics alot if years ive seen it all. Plus its alot more money to fill a hole with rock bud.
Beautiful work and job.
I love when people do it right, the first time. And last time. 👍🏼
"never need maintenance ..." 😂

That grass will be the first to die in the heat
They have automatic sprinklers
@FRENCHDRAINMAN
That's brilliant. So they have to water the crap out of their entire lawn just to keep that 18" strip from burning and looking like shit? Gotcha. Huge water bill and likely going to invite fungus...red thread, mushrooms, etc, into an otherwise healthy lawn.
It makes no sense. You can link whatever you like, but the reality is that without an ample layer of soil...even some organic matter that holds moisture...that sod is going to burn. You're better off not even putting the grass back on it. In the summer it'll cook from underneath. The stone will absorb the heat and hold it. It's why you can see people's leach fields and septic ranks during a hot dry summer...and they're buried under a foot or 2 of soil. It's why you can see buried boulders, ledge, or even stumps that have been grinded in people's property.

Every French drain I’ve ever seen has had issues. Even the ones installed like this guy.
And lie.... If there's a tree withen a 100 feet of that the roots will go threw all of that ....going today to dig one all the way up and redo because it's full of roots
Its the same way you do drain tile around a foundation. No one is digging that out so I think maintenance free is pretty accurate.
@@secret5. we have had to re-route foundation drains on a lot of retaining wall projects. Never once have we found a foundation drain that had any water or evidence of water in it. However, several times we’ve found them all full of dirt and buggered up. So no, foundation drains aren’t maintenance free either.
Funny thing - I have been in the "Building Industry" for 43 YEARS - And i have never heard of "burrito wrap" other than on this particular "expert RUclips" channel!!!

That is a surface drain. I do real french drains everyday. I excavate down to the footing around the entire building. To remove all the dirt and replace it with gravel adds 20k to a 20k job. You are excavating down 2 feet so getting rid of the dirt costs you and the customer very little. Know what you are talking about before you act like an expert.
$20K???? For what, like maybe 10 yards of stone at most, plus labor? Holy markup.
Do you slope your pipe or is it flat around the perimeter?
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN to code where I live the drain should be level. However a slight slope never hurt anybody.
It's not actually a "French Drain" if rock isn't involved.
Thank you for the advise! Nicely done.
Thank you!!! I can't tell you how many hours I've spent arguing this point.
@@ravinraven6913
Yes, it definitely is needed unless early failure is desired, meaning even more money spent way before expected.
Thats crushed aggregate not gravel. Gravel is naturally occurring, usually round or subround. Basically large sand.
Thank you for sharing
Keep in mind people that call Aggregates gravel are the same ones that put in cement driveway the rest of us put in concrete driveways cement driveways would just be very dusty😂
ok sure but this costs monies and rock bottom builders will bill rock bottom
It really doesn't cost that much as a diy project. I am 57 year female & used his method for 195 ft French drain. Turned out great! & cost was minimal. Rock cloth & pipes. Digging it out manually was most certainly the hard part.😊

I recommend pebbles or river rock that will drain at a much faster rate rather than that crushed gravel that settles down over time making it harder for water to drain. You can grow grass or create a decorative dry riverbed.
Thanks brother. I will try this out for sure.
Could we get any videos about code compliance with city or county regulation?
Been there, caught the contractor and he grudgingly dug it out (and left it to me to fill back in).
Had around 150' of french drain installed a few years back. We have heavy dense clay soil and an inch or so of rain would leave standing pools lasting a day or two. hired a guy to install the drainage with no discussion of the particulars of how it should go. He was (still is) an honest guy. Got home just as the crew was finishing up and I immediately saw this situation. They were just shovelling the excavated dirt back in, effectively sealing the drain off. You need to have the water soak in to get to the drain!
I ended up having a truck load of percable soil meant for leech fields dropped off and I shoveled it in myself.
Works great now but it's settled and I'll need to top the trenches off soon.
Thanks for the video, an important tip.
Thank you for commenting and sharing
Never seen anyone put dirt back in on top of the stone of a french drain. Apparently this guy says it happens and I believe it.
Most guys do because it costs more money to haul all the dirt out. Most guys are also under equipped.
these drains are truly wonderful. My family has a couple in their yard, and these things can take the full force of a tropical storm, without even looking slightly full

That’s exactly right! I’m a mason and I support this message, and if you are doing any type of masonry anywhere then you should prep your job site with filter fabric and washed stone, never back fill with anything but washed stone (that goes under your foundation and behind any retaining walls).
Thank you, brother
There are SO many nuanced elements to landscaping, it's difficult to say always and never, because there are so many methods depending on what you are trying to accomplish. If there is going to be grass on top of this, then you must have soil. But, if you do a river rock, dry river bed above the fabric, then you don't have to worry about dead grass. Again, so many different options.
Ten years ago I did as shown, no dirt above, super heavy geotextile liner, around one meter deep. Survived first winter fine. After the second winter, the textile was all pierced and ripped - at least to half a meter depth, and clay began seeping through into the stones. After five years, once white stone surface was all covered in clay. By now, the former drain is back to nature - all hard clay with some stones embedded in it. Not that it really matters - we haven't had more than two meters of snow since 2014, so the spring inundation is quite benign. Likewise, the summers seem to become less damp (thank you Greta...)

100% agree; I did a project and made the mistake to put some of the soil back in; it is still burrito wrapped with some gravel, and it hasn’t turned into a problem, but I still reflected later and regretted not exclusively using clear stone for the complete refill. 😢
At least you wrapped it. It probably won't grab up surface water as well, but it can still dry out the sub-surface soil.
