- Make sure you have a gutter downspout adapter that goes from the gutter down spout pipe to your drain pipe - one with a filter to catch leaves. You'll also want an inline catch basin. Our catch basin holds a bunch of shingle gravel and you only need to clean it out every five years. It's only five inches wide so it fits in a trench so it's very easy to install.
Finally, you'll want to discharge with a pop-up emitter. Those are the three major components of a really good underground buried downspout system.

Best explanation of downspouts I've seen.. I'm new to installing drains and thinking of making it a side business

I have been watching all your videos but haven't fully committed. I have an area with 5 downspouts close to each other and a serious sidewalk run off. How will the downspout adapter do with pine needles?
Pine needles are the absolute worst. Nothing can 100% protect you against pine needles with the exception of cutting the Evergreen trees down. You have to go with 4" pipe you have no choice in the matter. Needles get in everything. They are a mess. Our sediment trap will need to be cleaned once a year. Also go with a pop-up emitter with sump bottom.
Good luck
Everything here is great besides the corrugated pipe, a 4 inch PVC would be the best option

I love your products but your shipping prices pretty much put them out reach for anyone not in SE Michigan...
Our customers, they value quality and they're not going to let the shipping costs get in the way of a quality installation. The shipping companies get their pound of flesh, there's no doubt about that. But if you don't value your time and sweat equity, you'll be doing it a second time.
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN yeah I get it but you might want to look into a new distribution company.... I was about to pull the trigger on $600 worth of product but shipping came out to be an additional $650.... Something's not right about having to pay more for shipping than the price of the product itself...
I'm in the same boat. Would buy hundreds of dollars worth of product, but nit paying twice that for shipping. FDM you should definitely look into expanding through distributors or big box stores. You'll make a lot more money.
I’m loving your videos! Do you have DIY kits for in Canada or kits a young business owner can buy off you to start installing French drains?
Yes

You want to talk to Mike. Tell him what you just text in your comment.
Tell him your looking for contractor pricing.
Appreciate you brother.
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN I appreciate it ! You’re videos inspired me. I started a pressure washing business that morphed into a gutter cleaning & installation business. RUclips showed me your videos and I’m hooked Iwant to really lean into providing this service next season.
Robert Sherwood makes it look so easy,I wish he come to California (I need help with drainage). Don’t trust myself to do it right
You can do it. Our kits are really easy to assemble. Just need a shovel.
Is this downspout adapter your company’s product?
Yes

How do you dig under the concrete?

I think the pipe itself is the 4th major component of the system. 🤷♂️

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN dude you rock!! I used to install French drains for a living and you absolutely deliver 100% awesome videos! Keep up the amazing work bro!✌️
Clean every 5 years? I always recommend people flush the system at least 1 time a year. Especially if they have lots of trees overhead

what about standing water freezing if it doesn't drain fast enough?
ruclips.net/p/PLjFCqaZ4v1BXKlR6qPMC_8I00r5KGdoP9&si=xeEgeaZ8w33KzPX7
These guys are from Michigan, generally everything they do takes freezing into consideration
I don't think ice at walk way and side walk is great but some people live in warm places

These are exactly what I need for my project. Do you know where I can get them and do they have a brand name? Thanks!
Go to frenchdrainman.com
It's a VENTED CLEAN-OUT LEAF FILTER 🍃 comes in Black or White
Is the pipe corrugated inside too or is it smooth inside?
Corrugated single wall.
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN thats very interesting. You would think being corrugated outside and smooth inside would give you the flexibility of corrugated and the smoothness of PVC no? Obviously you are the expert you have been doing this for decades. Just curious.
Wow, here on Long Island, we just need to kick it 2 -4 feet away from foundation. All simple, above ground, easily accessible.
Glad we don't have much clay.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. My downspouts drain directly onto the walkway of my home. I just had my roof replaced and my San Diego home never had gutters.
My question is how do I cut into my walkway that is on the perimeter of my house so that my downspouts can drain into a unit like the one in this video? I am in the process of pricing out having a drainage system installed adjacent to my property line and I would like to get the same thee units installed in this video. Thanks Reggie the BackYardJackOfAllTrade but no time to master any without RUclips’s help

How’s this differ from your other suggestion of installing two drains - one pvc from the gutters and corrugated for surface water?

I like the "MADE IN USA" camera shot on the popup lid. Pure flex at the end. 💪🏽

I’m glad to see that you’re not calling it a French Drain! Soo many people call Every subsurface drain a “French Drain” Huge Difference 👍🏽

Do you need the inline catch basin, if you have a metal roof?
@Aperfectpersonallaround
I would because I see what the roof pollution looks like, and it's not just shingle gravel.
You take it away from a structure, and make it go to your neighbor's structure!
ruclips.net/video/y-cmpIW6q98/видео.htmlsi=F0c6PMVV9clhk7H0
So are you using 2 sep pop ups at the end, one for the dnspout, and one for the perf, or tying them both together at discharge?
There is no perforated pipe in this example. It's just a solid pipe for roof runoff water.
what about making last few feet being perforated

What does this tie into? A storm water line?

Thank you
🔥🫶🏾😮
Thank you
How doesn’t this freeze in the North? I’m completely stuck on how far down to dig and how much length and which piping to use
Also a pop up emitter I don’t think would work well in the North
Everything freezes up in the North. It's unavoidable. That's why everything that we use is HDPE high density polyethylene.
Bad instal.
