In other words tiling is the best thing to help prevent flooding and helps during the winter months because the water before is drained before the winter season comes in freezes over...then when the thaw comes it all flows out
Dear Mr. Brian, I would like to know which computer program you use to calculate the tiles and drains, the deeps and slopes (at 1:00)? How do you know how much tiles you will need? In all cases do you will use a tile every 4ft, or 7 ft? How do you calculate the amount of drain tiles you´ll need it? It´s only a question of measure and area (every 4 ft) or do you calculate over the bulk of water? In short terms, how do I know how much tiles I´ll need and where to put them? Thanks and Best regards, sir.

Why dont you put in gravel and fabric like how you do with a french drain? Is there something im missing with this? I feel like the dirt would clog the pipe since it doesnt have protection from the fabric and gravel to filter out the mud.
I appreciate the reply. However, if using a gravel cart then adding gravel does not add a lot of work as was insinuated. It does add expense, yes. However, the longevity the gravel would add to the system working well would pay for that many times over. No one would think of putting a curtain drain around the foundation of their house without adding gravel. The same principal applies here. The fact is gravel carts are expensive and tile installers, naturally, would rather not invest in one. Personally, I would never hire a company to install tile if they did not own or could not rent a gravel cart and the attachment to their tile machine to make it would as in this video: ruclips.net/video/rdEr5lrXdBM/видео.html
Brian, I can not see myself installing tile without using a gravel cart such as you see here: ruclips.net/video/i2I6q3xwPDs/видео.html I just find it difficult to believe the narrow slits in the tile would not mostly clog up in 2-3 years whereas if a gravel cart is used such as shown in this video I can see it lasting 20-30 years. What is your experience and opinion.

How long before a corrugated pipe becomes clogged? I see a debate about how to best build French drains.
