Why not put out the brand you use?

Make the hole like you did. Then line it with the fabric. Invert the pipe and put the rocks in between the pipe and the fabric. Do not wrap the pipe and put the rocks outside. The soil will infiltrate the rocks. By putting the rocks in the fabric you leave the voids in the rock open.

My sewer line is schedule 40 its not below frost line. House is 30 years old, Im in Maine

I think what a lot of contractors don't understand is gnat engineers are often tasked with fixing mistakes, so we see all kinds of things contractors say is "just as good" or "it'll be fine, that doesn't actually matter". I don't do as much with earthwork, but I can tell you the absolute most common root cause of failure for concrete culverts and bridges is improper rebar cover, probably because it wasn't secured properly. Guess how many times I've seen a contractor "wing it" and try to pull wire mesh up into a slab? Or they don't use chairs or any number of things to do it the right way. Sure, there bridge ends up failing 20-30 years early, but hey they saved a couple hours of labor.

And how long til the filter gets stopped up and has to be replaced? Dont get me wrong, obviously dont want the drain getting stopped up either, so a filter that wont stop up as fast as the drain would without a filter does seem like a good idea. I'm just curious how long it will last. Also, does the type of filter you need to use vary by soil typee? And how can i identify what type of filter i need from all the various filter and other fabrics out there?

Block it with clay.

Should I stand on sdr35 as I bury it?

Bro I must know what those items were! Looked like baked potatoes.

Very informative thanks

I’ve seen better finishing work. Those sod seams are inexcusable

I would like to know How this is a French Drain? I get the run, run of slope etc drainage field... But the central requirement of a French drain is a deep holding area before the drainage. French Drains are by design to prevent flooding of other areas due to volume or other impediment. Hell I built french drains more than 50 years ago... The largest was 1/2 the size of a decent pool filled with gradually decreasing sized boulders until matt and sand just under the turf. Like most French drains they are used when any other choice is prohibited by cost or viability of constructing. Effectively they are a subsurface holding area - not a method of piping.

I live in Venice Florida and all the house in these new developments are like that with water in between them.

I'm using 4" triple wall with holes in the bottom. Do I still need to glue and tape it? It's for ground water and some gutters.I'm trying to control all the runoff from my neighbor. It's going to be almost 170 feet and will have the non-woven cloth and drain rock around it. It will end in a dry-well that has 4 55 gallon plastic drums with slits in the sides and surrounded by drain rock. I figured that would give me 220 gallons of storage until it gets absorbed.

This System Is Tricked out I love It. Good Detail, Great Install. I started Using The FrenchDrainMan Downspout filter/vents and they are great. I vent all my systems as of late and The amount of flow you are able to achieve is well worth it in those big gutter-Gushing Rains. Edit: I saw your shorts, You know about the filters. Some customers want them some dont!

💪🏼

Nice plumbing yeah people have no idea what a pain it is to get everything right. No clean outs at downspout tho? Also I think saying that a max of 3-4 downspouts for a 4” pipe is vague. The runoff surface area is what matters. 2,500 square feet is generally my limit with good fall (a full bubble) before I recommend to a client to step up to 6”

That is a system built right right there.

👍🔥💪🏼

There’s no concern over that water level in the retention pond rising?

This does not work for clay soil. Clay soil has nearly zero draining capabilities. The tube would just fill up and give you the same problem.

Your attention to detail is amazing.

What an awesome sob, thanks for this one!!

The 1 st time they need to come and deal with the sprinkler or any of the other lines you incorporated into the drain system your drain system goes bust. No way any cable, internet, or electrical service worker gives 2 damns about replacing stuff right, or checking level after they’ve inevitably had to dig that all up. I realize there is limited space, but you could have had the owner get the installers back out there and found a more practical solution that alleviates future issues.

Where do I get those staplers

Nice man, just finished a project with this…could not find root ban or similar adhesive so ended up just taping it…no roots around so hopefully holds up!

Would it be capable of pumping out an off grid 2,000 litre sewage tank.

These systems are compulsory in my country, Im surprised USA its not. They do all this work and the neighbours drain is just running to the ground. Maybe they should had spoke to the neighbour about connecting his spouting to the system for everyones home. Great work though. I have a identical system and glad to say my pipes are facing to the exit point.

I have a ABS pipe that is embedded in cement already and want to connect ADS to it. What adhesive would you recommend to connect ABS to ADS?

backfill with stone

Not sure I understand exactly how the tea is used underneath the pop-up. Maybe do a video and show us that set up.

💪🏼👍

💪🏼🔥👍

yea right… no screens on that shit😮 thought that would be like a metal grate with a box so nothing can get trapped in that gate

If you stand on schedule 40 pvc like that you’re done

Thank-you for further understanding

Pennsylvania requires that you dig below the frost line which is about 2.5 feet 😅 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you want to do the shit right schedule 40 4-in I don't want to hear nothing else. That corrugated pipe is crap

I made the mistake of not weighing the pipe down, i dumped gravel in and it got under the pipe and messed up the slope

Any tips for digging the trench under a sidewalk? I’ll have to do this soon

Fill it with gravel . Under, and over.

Would you recommend them for a 4” PVC system that is day-lighted?

Do you leave the blue pipe above the ground exposed? Seems like it would be an eyesore.

Any system like this which relies on power being available to prevent flooding just sounds like a big accident waiting to happen. No thanks!

I bought the same pump and used it to pump some water out of my pond. I have a unboxing and a video of me using it on my channel

I need it now I just need a tree😂

Awesome explanation

💪🏼

Dirt or sand mix outside ?
