      Thank you! It's a pain to get those after shots. I drove out there a couple times during rain only to find no rain on site. I think it's worth it though, as I get a kick out of seeing the system work like it should. Sometimes I see something that needs to be tweeked as well.

    At first, I was thinking the culvert was overkill and would cost too much for some water but seeing all that water flowing was shocking. I would have been pissed from the very first time seeing that much water flowing in my backyard after buying that house and not being told about a river alongside your house. At least you were able to fix it and it looked good too.

    very well thought out drainage, I also built a rip rap (6' stone)style drain running along my driveway to 16' corugated drain pipe under the driveway to the other side then dumps over the hillside.

    That is really awesome job and improvement. Rip rap really slows the velocity and may even catch some debris. Where we are at, we deal with too many branches, even small logs washing down into the culverts and end up having to oversize, or put in large entrance grates. Service clean outs along the culvert run sometimes. Residential area like that, not much debris. Thanks for posting the before and after water flow. Great result and attention to detail.

      As someone who installs A LOT of drainage, it still amazes me how water finds it's own way to the lowest spots on the land.....You can try and direct nature, but nature will always find it's own way.

    I like this sort of heavy duty channel being open to the surface. You can see if it's breaking down at any point, and fix it straight away, where an underground drain you don't know if there's a problem until it fails completely. It's also much easier for a new owner to identify, or other workers, if the property changes hands.

    This is my second video of yours. If you don’t mind me saying. You should start incorporating filter fabric on your French drains and type 2 cement and molding plaster on your cement work will make your job easier and last longer. Just my 2 cents

    • @GCFD
      @GCFD  3 года назад +1

      Hi Bears - I don't use fabric because fabric clogs with fine sediment and kills the flow. By using gravel as a filter, I preserve the flow and that provides the energy to carry the fines through and out of the drain. 👍

    Nice job on this project. I was hoping to see the full path of the water as it was gushing through the entire channel. It looked like they needed some further work to handle the surface water coming downhill towards the culvert. That was quite a river through there!

    💫👍. Another great job 👌. They could always install catch basins from the channel drain to the ditch...I like that kind of drainage system as it really fits in with the nature and can easily be landscaped ...In this case the neighbor also benefits...Did they contribute to the job? I would have split the difference because it benefits both neighbors...When buying a house....Look at the property as for run off ...💫👍

    You should try using dish soap on the rubber seal of the culvert when sliding them together. I’ve used it a few times when installing culverts. Plus I believe that it is really what the company recommends for lube because it won’t disintegrate the rubber over time. Dollar store dish soap would work fine at $1.25 for a bottle you would get many jobs out of a bottle!

      The issue was all that water running along the back yard, into the front yard, and into the drainage basin. Now the water flows down the channel and through the culvert across the front yard. Water from the neighbor is impossible to stop from going in the basin but the homeowner has a front yard now.
