Man, I'm getting an education. Can you connect a downspout to a yard drain? Just have one I'm concerned with. Thanks in advance. Mark

I was hoping that this video made some mention of the level of the pipes or the level of the hand dig. I didnt see a level used once, is it not necessary?

Great explanation of the need for adequate fall! I try to do mine at 2x the pipe diameter, as in 6” surface fall for a 3” pipe. Is that a good ratio?

I don’t like to have a set number like that. I’ll take whatever’s available for fall. If I could run it in a direction that’ll drop 2 feet, that really makes me happy.

Looks like a new subdivision why aren’t the contractors who build the homes doing this kind of drainage…… yes I know it cost more, but you would think they would be required to do this by a code….

It's viewed in the same category as automatic sprinklers. If the homeowners want it, they have to flip the bill.

I recently replaced one of my gutter run offs because the last one was full of shingle gravel. The first rain it completely filled with water and won’t move. How is the water supposed to get out of the French drain. I have the grate about 10-12 feet away from house. Am I male to drill small holes in the French drain for the water to get out or will that flood my lawn and make it super soggy ?

You keep saying "French drain," but your comment is on an underground buried downspout video. I believe this is what you're looking for: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maundp2ErKhrfJYsi=gJnEmcHnfGRrNg0P

But how about you use a pipe sock AND a fabric soil separator? The manufacturers of pipe sock must know this stuff - perhaps they intend for use of both at the same time?? Every other video I've seen sits the pipe on a layer of stones. It would have to get seriously cold to freeze 50-60cm below the surface!

You have not mentioned the rate of fall required per m/yd. Also - Hydraulic Cement not concrete as it says on the tub; concrete has aggregate in it - this doesn't. If you are draining over a whole flat area rather than at the lowest point of a slope I don't know how close the drains should be together.

When you bury the Not Quite a 90 up to the edge of the fitting and then put on the turf restrictor plate, it sits about 1/2" above the ground. Do your guys stuff dirt under the plate to make it more stable?
@FRENCHDRAINMAN
@FRENCHDRAINMAN Күн бұрын
@darrinmc Yes. You have to. Otherwise, it will rock. Pushing it down and having the plate seat in some dirt for best results.

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN Thanks for the info. I just installed a 75 foot run that combines 2 downspouts into a single popup. It was tough digging but I knew how to handle any of the issues that came up thanks to your videos. Getting the turf restrictor plates to sit at the right height was tricky for me. I'd love it if the plate came down to the top of whatever you are connecting it to (or slightly below). Then I could set the height of the 90 or catch basin knowing that the plate is going to rest on the ground when I install it. And if I need to remove it I don't get dirt in the basin. Thanks again for all your help.

I like the idea that you showed one time where you had the pop up near the curb and then had a 2 inch pipe drilled through the curb to allow the water to fully drain out of the French drain but when you had a rain storm it would come out of the pop up. I think that i may go that way when i do put in the French drain and down spout on the house.
