Definitely a brilliant way to not have a ditch down your front lawn. 10/10, I need to find a way to put one in my budget.
Thanks so much for this video. You're the only one explaining leach fields for stormwater drainage. Couple questions:
1. If you add a leach line at the top of a long downslope in a yard, would you still recommend knife-cut pipe and 8-ounce fabric?
2. What size stone do you recommend for a leach field?
As soon as your discharge line reaches an area where you don't mind the water leaching go to the knife cut pipe. I would use four-ounce fabric. Normally, for a leach field, we go with a smaller stone, typically buying 3/4-inch round rock.
I did this at my house:
- Installed a tank prior to the field that caught blackwater.
- it overfilled into the leech field
- I dug down six feet and filled four of those feet with a sand/gravel mix
- covered it with fabric
- Laid out my manifold and pipe - fill
- had a 1/2" drop for every foot
- total of 30 feet with six pipes, wrapped
- built a large shelter over it all to keep out the rain
what kind of tank did you install...how many gallons and did you modify it in anyway/
the perforated pipe in between...is that connected to the black connector or does just lay in between with 2 end covers on each end of the 3? I have a huge field at home that floods after heavy rains and I am going to try this and will need the 3 perforated pipes as well. Will be ordering from your team. Thank you!
That was 6" pipe
Did you get a soil test done first before sizing the field that’s needed for the water volume
Test came back CLAY so it has little and slow particulation. The more active the sump system the bigger the field. It tested CLAY. I know the soil in my service areas. I don't bother with any test plus everything I do is overkill. We like overkill. Thank you for commenting.
How much does evaporation figure into leach field function? Do the aspects you discuss in this video apply to septic system leach fields as well?
Some water may evaporate, but remember the leach field was installed because the water was not evaporating or flowing sufficiently off the grass in the first place. So I don't think it helps significantly here. As far as septic systems go most states require septic design licenses with a set of codes that go with it. Septic system leach field are indeed pretty much the same thing as this but vary in size depending on the occupancy of the building.
@@VTGoPro Thanks for the insights.
If your sump pump runs a lot and you add extra pipe between the manifold pipe where do you put the pop up on the end of the run?

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN thanks Robert! 👍🏻
Is this process the same for a septic leach field ?
Kinda. The tank of a septic field is key for breaking down solids.
Why didn't you use round rock? Like you usually do?
It was Round Rock just smaller, which is normal for leachfield.
Round rock don’t compact Crushed compact s
Why not run the pipe straight to the ditch?
30ft belly
All that for a single sump that doesn’t run much ? Seems super excessive.
