In this video, we see John and Joe setting to work and showing you how to dig a soakaway. John manning the yanmar vio17 and Joe is on the cormidi c85 mini dumper. John gets out the power tools,hilti te500 avr demolition hammer chiseler, to help him square up the edges of the soakaway trench. Joe does a bit of concrete breaking using the bosch gsh 27vc demolition hammer to break up the old concrete footings. Next up is digging pipe trench to silt trap to connect up the french drain. Then the guys lay weed membrane,perforated french drain pipe and fill trench with 20mm aggregate before they back fill trench with earth. The guys then move onto lining saokaway with weed membrane and fitting the first soakaway trays before digging trench from soakaway to silt trap. Next comes the 4 inch pipe from soakaway to silt trap and using plenty of pipe lube the guys piece the pipe run together. A layer of pea gravel in soakaway is added and also around pipes before John does his last job of the day where he starts to raise soil pipe level before the block and beam is laid.
