If you are sticking with pvc and not baughman pipe at least stick a T with a dry well under it right before the pop up so it will always drain. The pop up is secondary and the well will keep it clean. 🥰
Good choice with the PVC vs horrible black corrigated. However that 90 deg? Should be a long sweep and why, when you have got a sewer like that in your yard, did you not run this gutter pipe into the side of it?
Ya a sweeping elbow would be better than that 90°...when you have a straight 90° and you do lose a lot of the velocity of the water coming down the downspout. That velocity is important even tho you have slope. To bad you cannot core drill into the storm drain. You have it nice and close to the storm drain though. Clean job...nicely done.
Why would you use PVC over corrugated? Corrugated when sleeved is plenty durable and far more flexible for easier placement? The slope on this PVC is not steep enough to drain the pipe, water is going to sit in this pipe and eventually grow mold and bacteria and all sorts of nasty shit that will then wash out into the lawn and could pose a risk to dogs or cats or even kids.
@@patty109109 I agree! Looking at the bubble on his level, there's plenty of slope. If I had to critique this at all it would be to use a sweeping elbow instead of the 90° which pretty much is the consensus in the comments. I say he did a great job! 👍🏼
Yes that clean out you see in the picture. You put a hose in it and it comes to the end of the popup. You open the top and pull whatever’s in there out
What's better, run of the mill gravel or river rock for a french drain? Some people recommend washed river rock that is 1"- 1 1/2" and every youtuber/expert uses cheap construction gravel.
What if you get to the end and because of grade you are like 2 feet below the surface? Will it still work if you have to add a 2 foot vertical piece and the pop up to reach the surface?
@@jerseyshoredrainagesolutions if using a 4” schedule 40 for my discharge line, do I have to go below freeze thaw in MI? My yard has no slope so I am hoping my schedule 40 pipe will survive the winter without cracking at just 6” below ground?
@@jerseyshoredrainagesolutions, ok my plan is to use a pop up with a catch basin for all my downspouts to capture any debris and roof granules. $700 per downspout seems too much so I’ll do it myself
@@alizin2011 good luck man. Make sure you use the popup with the hole in the 90 or drill a hole in a 90 so the water can drain out when no head pressure is there to force the water out
Obviously it doesn't freeze where this place is, it also would've been a cleaner finish just to tie that line directly into that storm grate through the side of it. Punch a hole in it and call it a day guranteed you had the height advantage on it.

can you list the pieces used in connecting the down spout to the 4-inch pipe?

@@punditjudgementthis is crazy talk. Every time it rains it washes out whatever is in the popup. This is a perfectly normal install and well done.

What happens over time with all the shingle debris and sand collecting in the PVC pipe over time? There a way to clean it?
Yes that clean out you see in the picture. You put a hose in it and it comes to the end of the popup. You open the top and pull whatever’s in there out
Like the level with the three lines. What is the slope on this pipe? Whats the minimum slope required for a drain pipe?
I think 1in slope per foot or something like that, put if you just slope to full bubble you’ll be fine .
Is the purpose of having y connector to clean the debris and stick hose to flush the system?
that’s correct. put hose in there and flush to the pop up
Can you do a drain system if you have clay soil? Can one extend the pipe all the way out into the street?
Yes. Check with your local ordinances before taking to the street. Some make you stay 5ft before the street

The 3/4 blue stone is best for a French drain. It works great and is cheap. You then put the nicer river rock on top for a finish
Like that sdr 35 pipe 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
😎💯
That looks like D2729 not ASTM D3034 SDR 35
Doesn’t the pool water kill the grass???
@@CASG93 it goes to the street so no
What if you get to the end and because of grade you are like 2 feet below the surface? Will it still work if you have to add a 2 foot vertical piece and the pop up to reach the surface?
That will work, no problem. I've gone over 6 feet on many jobs
Pop up emitter in cold weather climate maybe not good tho?
That pop out is going to lift ? Seems you need lots of water pressure
Yes it lifts. The head pressure from the downspout makes it flow. I show examples of it on many videos
They work perfectly. The top pops up without issue, the pressure is actually a lot once the pipe fills.
@@patty109109 exactly
I thought that you can’t drain a pool into the green warmer ways. It’s only supposed to go to sewer clean out?
How deep is the trench?
however deep it needs to be. Most are 1-2ft
How much does something like this cost?
depends on how far it has to go.. materials have gone up. but on average it’s like $700 a downspout

this design has no alibi bc it U G L Y
Why not do 80mm
How do you keep the last 3 or 4 ft from freezing and having the ice push the pop up off the pipe? just drill holes or slits I'm assuming?
I drill holes at the end of the 90 and make a mini dry well under it so the water can still drain into the ground if it can’t pop up

It does freeze in NJ. And you can’t legally punch a hole into the storm grate or I would have lol
Won’t this freeze in the winter???
@@Millyyyy93 no. Just literally posted a video on this today
We won't tell anybody if you don't @@jerseyshoredrainagesolutions
Yep the 90degree is wrong
PVC cracks - should use a good corrugated pipe
Corrugated clogs and slows flow of water. Sediment and granules fill the ribs.
I'm replacing mine today . The first 10 feet of pvc cracked. Looking for an alternative
