They're aggressive trees and crush pipes of any kind.

Hey French drain man thank you to all your videos I installed my system in this past week all DIY and it works great! No more water in our basement, used your videos as a guide! All done with FDM products
Do you ever use dual wall corrugated pipe? People in CA freak out when you pour this through the pipe!
Thank You so much
I have the situation from hell.
Appreciate info.
Your like counter is showing N A when I gave you a thumbs us.
Keep up your great work👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great videos always 🦾
The best thing they can do is pull out that silver maple. I have two in the front yards. Between dropped branches and roots in the sewer, they've cost me a thousand bucks. If I hired out the sewer snaking, it would have been thousands.
Root barrier plates ever work?
Looks good, I just don't know how long that copper sulfate will last before it dissolves? I try to put some in my septic main line to sit overnight 1x or 2x per year so tree roots don't clog up the mainline.
If you're gonna put it in liquid that flows to a system, you should do it a couple of times a year.
Hey, Robert, is your company looking for installers in northern-ontario?
Yes

Ask for Mike
He will get you your contractor prices too.
Does this underground drain work in climates where the grounds freezes for a couple
Of months each year?

It works as well as the downspout itself. And yes, in the North downspouts experience, freeze up
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN Brilliant, thank you!🙏
How can roots be cleared out of underground buried downspouts once they’ve grown in?
Doesn't sound like they used the plumbing tile tape on it. It's the only way they can get in. We don't have that problem with our system.
Not a big deal, run a camera up the line find the root intrusion, excavate the area, generally these pipes are shallow, repair the area where roots have entered.
@@davidmays2161Thank you!
Copper sulfate in the soil won't hang around long enough to prevent future root growth, and will most likely damage the roots of turf and other plants in the area in the short term
Our blue grass in the North is a shallow root turf. No worries.
When copper sulfate is put down in high concentration like we did here, it's in the soil for many years.
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN You are correct, copper sulfate does not biodegrade and has an indefinite shelf life, that's a great solution for roots.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but copper sulfate is highly water soluble, and whatever doesn't bind to surrounding soils will be washed away through the drainage tiles. It's been found to be highly toxic to aquatic organisms. I wouldn't recommend for sustainable operations.
What if you took a torch w a wand and burned all the root ends ? Almost like you would cauterize an open wound or artery. Would that help to prevent roots coming back? I have the same problem w huge and small roots and I am thinking in every way to prevent their "comin back".
I think I would shovel a narrow trench and do this instead. The packaging recommends doing this for roots. Your idea sounds like something that might be able to work though.
