Sorry for a stupid question in advance , what is at the end of the roof run off system. ?

They never show where the water ends up

If it’s a plastic pipe what stops it from caving in when you drive over it.

What does that stuff do

What do you use to record your videos.?

Everything always is easier running downhill. 😊

That’s the trick that everyone wants to skimp out on is digging that trench with an almost perfect smooth bottom so your corrugated drain pipe isn’t a rollercoaster with a ton of bellies.

Need to see this in action

I'd love to see the pop-up (with the heat cable) functioning during a thaw. I live in Minnesota. The catch basin/inline vent and the pop-up would be covered with snow. Do you keep them shoveled out/cleared, or does the water pop-up under the snow?

You need to go back when it's raining heavy to see how good it's working

Have you thought about offering a continuous loop DVD of that surface drain/catch basin? I think I would stop watching the Yule Log vid and watch that drain all afternoon to relax and enjoy the ambiance! That yard had to have been a nightmare prior to your intervention.

a 45-degree 4" Tee at the ground level, with a metal mesh inserted into the Tee is a cheap solution. The Tee's side opening is a man hole to insert a mesh to stop the leaves, and you need a 5 buck cover for the side opening too. Cut a cheap leaf guard to create the mesh filter.

Details on that drill and it combo?

So I used the big blue wye today to connect my two big drainage lines to a knife cut leech line. Very nice and solid piece of equipment but it did not connect tightly to my white 4” knife cut and I ended up having to tile tape them together. Other 4” fittings like the pop up connected to the knife cut fine.

How did you calculate that a single 4 inch line can accommodate 2 3x4 downspouts?

Honda EU2000i?? Contractors who've done outside work for me and/or neighbors, always plug into our outside outlets! I also wish the contractor who put the underground downspout system around my home 30 yrs ago, could have seen some of your videos, as the system can't handle downpours w/o geysers coming from the downspouts! I've capped several and just dump the rainwater into the yard! :(

Looking forward to Black friday deals on your Canadian site! :)

What kind of tape is that?

Another win! If you could like my comment, it supports my commenting.

Nice Work ! 🇨🇦

I am from Australia - What is the purpose of the Pop-Up Emitter?

Crew - Teamwork always wins!

How about big floods unexpectedly due to 24 hrs rainfall due to storm?

How does this mixture get to the French drain if the catch basins are separated from the French drain

Brilliant rain water collection opportunity

Or or you could build the house right and never have yours run ever … sounds better

Can you put the super sump in for two down spouts instead of having two separate boxes for each down spout? Just wondering?

Best dang video on fresh drain installation out there! Thanks for putting this out there!

So the way I plumb. A drain holds zero amount of liquid. Thats why we use levels to get a flow at 1%. In my system if you wanna block roots? You simply install the pipe correctly. If you have bellies holding enough liquid to make this effort justifiable. Then there’s your problem. Shouldn’t be perforated holes that far from house. Just straight line out to open atmosphere. Every drop of that liquid should be at end of line in 30 seconds or less.

Contractors of your standard in the bay area california?

What is this?

Work on septic leach fields?

You really didn’t explain how this works.

I thought in the northern areas, you shouldn't bury PVC? It's too rigid and will crack?

It all looks very nice to me. Except where the pipe comes out on the sidewalk, and not at the street. But I will admit it’s not my day job. If it was possible, it would be great to have it on the street. But I’m no specialist! Looks fantastic otherwise

In this video, it appears there are TWO pop-ups--one closer to the house, and one further away at the end. Can you explain why?

That pause before he said.. “Budget restraints” lol 😂

why? the video is called "the importance of sand..." but i dont quite understand. is soil not permeable enough?

Sand then straw, most people dont do sod .... they do straw and dirt then seed it

How thick do you recommend the sand layer to be? About 1 inch?

I listened to this twice but I'm too dumb to understand what he's saying. Can someone explain to me like Im regarded?

Wish someone in my town could do this. Have 2 drains that don't work right. Companys I hired didn't know what there doing even though they said did. .waters getting under my house still causing damage so stressed

The sump pump manufacturer matters too! Ive seen the ones you guys use an theyre great quality.

Could you have run 8 slot next to to the solid making it 4 pipes in the system? If so, what what are trade-off between between more pipe or more stone?

Is 3 separate drain tiles really necessary? Why not just run 1 main drain line for the basin, roof drain, and French drain system?

Hi, I have 2.75 in. Round Downspout, will the 2 x 3 or 3 x 4 fit? The 4" Round is too big and my pipes are 3" corrugated and set up in place already

So, are you just gonna leave it up to us to figure out what that kool aid does to the tree???

Currently starting my own small waterproofing business and was wondering how you price out a job like this?

I'm just a home owner looking to solve a drainage issue off the roof of my porch and I got to say. Your product is priced well and you really do make solid products and explain the logic behind them very well.

For folks looking to DIY this job, it's worth noting that the drain should never undercut the footer of the foundation -- codes require that if the drain is set below the footer, it stays outside a 60 degree pitch below the footer (the deeper below the footer the pipe goes, the further away from the house it needs to be). This prevents water and sediment being pulled away through the pipe from undercutting the foundation.
