I thought the video was done because an ad came on, but after the ad, Shawn popped up. I guess this one won't have a rainy day follow up because it drains directly into an hidden culvert.
There’s something satisfying about watching your videos, I don’t know what it is. I’m from Arizona, so we don’t have many of these drainage issues. Keep it up man.
Nice job locating the cement storm drain pipe and coring into it , laying and connecting the two different properties together and adding the additional catch basin box rather than just putting a clean out fitting so you also catch all the extra area water and not cutting any corners . With 2 machines on that job it is still a lot of hand work to be done and you bring enough crew to get it done in one day . Nice job by Shawn and Associates !
Thanks Eddie! I'm always amazed by how much work these projects really are, especially when the machines do most of it! Anyone can dig a trench and throw a pipe in there. But we make sure we're falling correctly for results!
Those green pop-ups are what they used on a property that I advised them against and the result is lots of standing water. Great fix! Another awesome and informative video!
Great work! It’s nice to see people doing things the right way and actually owning equipment as opposed to all those cheap chucks out there. Great solution
Nice job Shawn. Good to see neighbours working to together with you to overcome issues. If I may could I suggest putting the basin on top of the vertical connection to the culvert and bringing the separate drains into the basin. That way you have access to the culvert, and access upstream of all the connections for snaking. Basically creating a manhole with a bottom outlet. Great video again.
That's a great idea. The reason I don't do that is by draining the pipes into the CB it kills the flow and debris-carrying capacity of the water. We figured we can access the pipes through the downspout connections. Great comment Mark!
Both homeowners just paid for drainage systems so they didn't want to pay for completely new systems. I would have liked to go all the way to the gutters, but I don't mind tying another system into mine. I know mine can handle anything that comes their way!
Good stuff. I'd consider getting into this kind of work if I lived somewhere flatter where drainage was a more common problem. I'd never even heard of a backyard storm drain before watching this channel.
@@GCFD you have us beat in southeast Minnesota. We average just under 40 inches per year.
2 года назад+1
@@GCFD I've been curious how much rain you see, I'm in subtropical Brisbane, we saw 55 inches of rain last year and this year exceeded our 3 day record with over 26 inches.
Your videos popped up and have been binge watching to catch up. Love the work. I am a former sprinkler guy and did some landscaping. I have always hated corrugated pipe. Schedule 40 PVC is the way to go. I have always thought doing it the right way first. I rarely had to go back to do repairs even season to season because of doing it the right way. Quality work lasts.
So that’s what those round green things are. I’ve always wondered what they were seeing them in my yard and other places. Just bought the house recently so I had no darn idea. 😂
Video editing tip: lower the volume of the music. Right now you have to turn down the volume when the music starts and turn it up to hear you talking. Apart from that I love the vids.
@@GCFD That maybe so but It will keep you from lifting up the rear. I tend to use the blade in the front only when I I’m trying to lifting something heavy.
I like that little tamper.... you guys should get a pressure washer and a jet kit - and offer customers the service of jetting out their old system while youre there.
0:28 from my understanding, these popups are best suited if you have an aggressive slope such that the speed of rushing water will dislodge debris in the pipe... Then again, it will not purge anything heavier than water.
Same here! I get mad respect from other contractors because I'm not shy about gearing up for the job. Tools, equipment, materials. I can't stand having to leave the job for a $5 part.
This job (joining PVC & black corrugated, tapping into an existing system) reminds me of a situation I had. My driveway sits slightly higher than the house; when I had a concrete sidewalk poured, they put a little belly in it, so it slopes slightly towards the middle and ever so slightly to one side, with a small box drain in the ground next to it. They ran 2" pipe from that box drain over to an existing 4" corrugated pipe carrying water from the driveway drain, and used a holesaw to insert the PVC from the side. Several years later, the driveway drain wasn't flowing well, and I found the corrugated pipe was more than half full of mud & roots, so tore it out to replace it with 4" PVC. That 2" pipe coming across from the sidewalk had been inserted all the way into the corrugated pipe - touching the far wall - thus not only blocking most of its own capacity, but most of the corrugated as well.
We use the correct fittings to avoid those problems. I carry most everything we might need so those unexpected things are covered and we can do the job right.
@@GCFD good, and thank you for doing it right . Mine is correct now, with the 2" PVC from the sidewalk joining the main 4" PVC from the driveway in a proper fitting, and no black corrugated pipe remaining on the property.
Honest question: why not place the catch basin exactly atop the cut into the culvert? That way one could pipe all the distinct pipes into the basin, and have individual access for cleaning and checking each of them.
The catch basin allows cleaning down to the culvert, but if roots get into the pipes from what used to be pop-ups... well, maybe there are cleanouts further back?
Why did the guys make the neighbors side with the elbows going down and then the run had to climb up to get to the culvert. There must have been a way to keep it sloping down?
This wasn't a city culvert it was installed by the developer who built the subdivision. But make sure to call your city. Every time I call they either don't care or never call back.
This has the big fall ever. A full 90 straight down. Can't beat that. When you said the culvert, I knew I was going to be disappointed that we weren't going to get to see the water flow. Sigh...All that beautiful water flow getting covered up. Do the homeowners not question where the water is going? If it's still on the property, isn't that an issue?
Try using cheap tarps to put the dirt the Koboda pulls out on. Not only does it make everything look nicer during clean up but you will save so much time cleaning up that it will pay for the tarps.
Shawn. I have been watching your videos for a while now and recently subscribed. Great videos! Have you ever posted a video on protecting gutters from clogging with gutter guards or the like? If not, any recommendations?
Question. Are you assuming there is no below ground or above ground water and the problem in both yards is solely due to the placement of the pop ups. You did not use any perforated pipe or catch basins is the reason I ask.
I have some more projects where homeowners are working together. Those videos are waiting for rain before they go live. I always look forward to your comments Dylan, Shawn
I think the freeze/thaw might mess with the rigid pipes but I'm not sure. These pipes don't hold water when positioned well so freezing water is not an issue.
Nice job. Took me weeks to find the culvert with a shovel. Now I have to figure out a way to cut or drill through a steel galvanized culvert. Any ideas?
Am a new subscriber from over the big pond in the uk i am finding your youtube channel really interesting not been through all your videos as yet but can i ask what does the straw do.keep up the good work
Thanks for your sub Taylor! The straw protects the bare soil from raindrop splash, protects the grass seeds, holds moisture, releases nutrients as it decomposes. 👍
In New Jersey it is illegal to tap a sanitary system line for gutter discharge. Was yours connected to a storm water only discharge for the development?
I will admit that my knowledge in a lot of plumbing stuff is lacking. Is there any kind of seal you use with the pvc going into the culvert when it is buried like that? Was wandering if there was a possibility of a sinkhole if the culvert somehow fills up completely.
Just curious, you use seed and straw after pretty much every job, but what is the purpose of the straw? Is it just to protect the grass seed until it starts to grow?
If the culvert is installed when the houses are built why aren't the gutters connected to then ?? Why wait for years of problems and then do it ? In the UK we have 2 drainage systems on houses , one for foul water the other for surface water . We pay water rates for the disposal of rain through surface water drains .
@@GCFD still shouldn't be a problem to begin with gutter water should already have its own drainage system not just dumped on the side of the house witch seems very common in the USA (only see this on farms and even then its rare because they have a drains to direct the water elsewhere like what your doing usually) Hay at least it keeps you in business fixing problems house builders not caring about doing it right the first time (even very recant houses been built as well your fixing so just shows they don't care as long as the house inside passes regulations)
I have a catch basin exactly like that in my drainage system in the backyard. Is there supposed to be gravel in the bottom? Why did you pour gravel in there, just to get it to set?
The gravel helps keep the basin from floating up, it provides a filter for debris and the weep holes, and it takes up volume so the water will flow faster. You have have it or not, either way 👍
Great videos. I have an issue with water in my basement ( block foundation ) we don’t have a storm drain to drain into. I was thinking of using the pop ups and the 4 inch pvc pipes to get water away from house. What is your thoughts on the pop ups?
Pop ups represent back pressure on the drainage pipe. Pull the pop up and look inside and you'll see debris and water holding in there. I drain to a place where the pipe won't hold water.
It's a yescom from amazon. I absolutely love the labor savings! It's a piece of crap though with the bolts always rattling loose. I bought a second one to have on-hand in case this one dies. The labor savings is worth it with this tool.
I'm really enjoying the quality of work you put in to your drainage solutions. Question? What is the brand of the mini jumping jack compactor you guys use? I've only seen the larger ones at the rental places near me, and this may be worth purchasing for me. Thanks
Shawn, a great example of how when neighbors work together they can achieve better results and lower costs at the same time...... Awesome 😎
I agree! I always try to work with the neighbors. I have a couple videos coming up where we tie in the neighbors. Those videos are waiting for rain!
I like Jeremy. He is funny. You have a great crew. They work well together.

I wish you would have shown what the connection to the culvert looks like. Is the PVC just hanging in the hole? Did you use some kind of adapter?
Honest question: why not place the catch basin exactly atop the cut into the culvert? That way one could pipe all the distinct pipes into the basin, and have individual access for cleaning and checking each of them.
IMHO I'd use a T on the top of the stack where it enters the culvert and put a cleanout there.
We thought about it but a cleanout would have been redundant with the catch basin being so close. Great comment!
The catch basin allows cleaning down to the culvert, but if roots get into the pipes from what used to be pop-ups... well, maybe there are cleanouts further back?
I love the concept here!!! Only one question? Why wouldn't you have used a 8 or even a 6 inch insert in the culvert?
That would be a huge insert into the culvert and a much bigger core bit/drill. 👍
Why did the guys make the neighbors side with the elbows going down and then the run had to climb up to get to the culvert. There must have been a way to keep it sloping down?
It was all sloping to the culvert. I think it just looked funny on camera. 👍

We've though about that. Things grow so fast here that it bounces back pretty quickly. Great idea!
Try using cheap tarps to put the dirt the Koboda pulls out on. Not only does it make everything look nicer during clean up but you will save so much time cleaning up that it will pay for the tarps.
Great tip!
The straw is for keeping the grass seeds damp? or just for temporary looks?
Both. It also protects the disturbed soils from erosion and the seed from predators.
Shawn. I have been watching your videos for a while now and recently subscribed. Great videos! Have you ever posted a video on protecting gutters from clogging with gutter guards or the like? If not, any recommendations?
How do you go about finding existing utilities and avoid damaging any existing underground runs?

I get detailed info from the homeowners so I don't have to assume. Taking the gutter water out of the equation is huge!
Who owns that storm drain? I have one between our house and the neighbors, and I'm not sure if I can tap into it

We use a core bit that is the perfect diameter to fit the pipe so its a good seal.
Requires cement to properly seal it
I thought I saw a coulper on the PVC that may have acted like a flange over the tight fitting hole. I would have expected a blob of concrete.
When you drill hole in sch 40 what size hole do you drill and at what spacing
How wide are the teeth on your chain?
Ours is 6” but it’s still a pain to work with 4” PVC.
yes it's got a 6" chain and yes, PVC is a pain to work with for sure. It's not very forgiving to our trenching.
Just curious, you use seed and straw after pretty much every job, but what is the purpose of the straw? Is it just to protect the grass seed until it starts to grow?

In addition to preventing erosion and protecting the seed, the straw holds moisture, and releases nutrients as it decomposes.
