As someone who likes to DIY, I love learning new things and truly appreciate the different professionals and amateurs that take the time to make these videos. One thing I do find frustrating is there are so many videos that completely contradict another's video. All swearing by different products and methods. I may learn how, but may still not know if it's right or wrong. You know?! And that's any project, not just this type. I guess that could just mean that there isnt just one right and one wrong way to do most projects. Either way, thank you for doing this video. Much appreciated.

Well is seems you do not understand what the difference is between a clean-out and a catch basin. See a catch basin is both a "catch basin" and a clean-out where a clean-out is just an access point to clean-out the system. This still beats not having any access point what so ever which is what I see every day. This system will be easy to maintain. Open the cap, flush with a hose, take the pop-up off and clean it out. I'm not arguing a catch basin would have been better, but sometimes you need to work with a customers budget and this particular customer did not like the look of a catch basin. So this is what they got and no problems so far! Thanks bruh.

Having geo textile fabric can’t hurt but generally isn’t necessary at the end of the line like this video. At that termination point, the water pressure and velocity will be pushing out any minimal shmutz that gets in that drain hole. It really depends on your soil. If you have clay (like I do), then yes - dig it up and create a dry well and line it then fill with gravel. If your soil drains, don’t bother - just remove the popup or grate at the discharge point and drill a hole easy peazy. If your lawn is normally dry within 48 hours after rain or irrigation, your soil drains.

@johnhaller5851
Жыл бұрын
Dig a trench a little longer than the sidewalk width to a depth that the top of the pipe will be below the bottom of the sidewalk and perpendicular to it. Put a hose in a pipe in the trench and turn the water on. Take a board and hold it on the end on the far side away from the sidewalk and start hammering the board to move the pipe under the sidewalk. Preferably, use a sledge hammer. Schedule 40 PVC will hold up to the hammering better, and support the sidewalk better. I've never done this, but I've seen it on the Stud Pack KZitem channel when they needed to do something similar to run a sewer under a foundation and sidewalk. Ideally there is a way to get rid of the excess water, starting from the downhill side of the sidewalk gives a place for the water to go. The water will wash some of the dirt away, and soften the rest, which will wash away once it collapses inside the pipe. Search for their video "Tunneling Under a Concrete Footing for a Sewer Drain"

Well, the pipe will of course have some standing water but we do have about 3” of fall over 20ft. There is a hole drilled in the bottom of the elbow at the end to allow the water to dry up after the rain has ceased. This install was on the coast of SC. Our ground does not freeze. Up north this system would be ok… but I would provide further measures to ensure it dried quickly after a rain or extend it further to daylight.

I never understood why put a 90 facing up like that at the end of runs.. yea your sloping it down slightly for flow but the top of the 90 is where it will drain out and the top of that 90 is level with the bottom of the downspout so the pipe will stay filled with water the entire time and overflow easily on the foundation side because its not sealed to the downspouts…. Even if it was it would still fill up that pipe.. unless you used a french drain section for the last run of pipe as a leech field style drain.. and i can say from experience, when buried drains dont work right and hold water it makes the whole area smell like dead stuff all the time from all the rotting leaves and drain crap that buikds up inside over time…. Just doesnt seem right to put a 90 facing up there at the end of a shallow drain run.. unless the top of the 90 is well below the top of the end run at the gutter side…

I enjoy the feedback, but unfortunately you are just wrong here. The top of the 90 is about 3” below the entry of the downspout adapter. It drains phenomenally. I observed it on a hard rain and was pleased with the results. It actually did so well it caused a large erosion problem. I have since extended them at the request of the customer. There will inevitably be standing water in any downspout system configured this way. The pipe dries up in a couple days after the rain has ceased and this can differ based on soil composition. If you have nothing but clay it could take longer. But to answer in short the entire pipe is not filled with water after a rain, only maybe the last 3-4 feet are. Regardless any drainage system will need some maintenance, but this one will last a long time.

Well, with the stainless steel gutter guards I am sure leaves will be few and far between. But when they do clog up inevitably The homeowner will need to use the clean-out installed and remove the pop up to flush out! Actually in this specific install the landscaper has agreed to maintain the system as part of the landscaping account! Thanks for the comment!

French Drain Man sells downspout leaf filters ...But homeowners should always consider gutter guards. But if they'res no trees it's no big deal. Also you could use a "T" fitting instead of elbow. The T would would allow any debris to settle on the open end of the T

Pop-ups get sucked up and chopped off by a lawnmower, better to use a yard drain fitting and attach it with a couple of ss screws.

They do! Hopefully this landscaper takes caution and installs the new sod at the appropriate grade. In my experience they seldom get chopped up if they are installed correctly. Thanks for the response, means a lot!

The new pop ups are great… they are spring loaded and don’t get sucked up like the old ones. Those are the only pop ups I use
