Нет, сообщение 10 осушит за 2 минуты, за 5 минут он осушает 1 милю дороги. Это знают даже в России.

Take the cap off! It will drain your yard faster 😀 👍👍 Great video

Popping the bubbler top will allow for better flow in a rain storm like this and will also allow for any leaves and crap in the pipe to blow out, cleaning it out with the increased flow.

@@neilmurphy845 it is a floating cap, that pops up when rainwater comes down pipe and encounters the bubbler, otherwise it stays closed to keep grass, dirt, debris and small critters out. Plus blends in with grass so can be walked on, mowed over and such. French drain is a ditch structure with either a porous pipe and surroundings or simply filled with coarse stone that allows water to flow into into it and the sloped pipe carries it away. A 'normal' drain is simply a solid pipe buried in the dirt usually with one opening and one exit.

Wow that is a lot of water! Nice neighborhood. Happy New Year!

By the looks of things you get rain like this often. The pipe draining your back yard needs to be bigger ore more. The east side is handling one hell of a lot of water. Good luck stay dry

Thank you and you were certainly correct I have stepped up this training and am enjoying the work! I will post another video where our yard stands today with drainage soon as we get a little grass growing this year. Take care, Kevin

Can’t understand the benefit of draining Water into the centre of a Lawn and inundating another area?

That's an American drain. . . If it was a French Drain, it would be in France.

You need to update your drainage system your pipes are probably too small but you should find a way to save that water in 1000 gallon tank put a pump system in where you can suck it up put it in a tank put the tank in the shed so it doesn’t look stupid one problem is they should’ve raised your foundation a bit which it looks too low to me

Tons of new construction neighborhoods near me use these same setups which is so odd to me, or they have curbs that lead too Culverts that drain to ditches at the backside of the houses

you should bury a big container on property and use the rain water for sprinklers

You know I did think of that but goodness with that kind of rain my sprinklers were staying off with the auto sensor all the time :)

@GMan-yv8cb 3 жыл бұрын

That is not a 'French Drain'- on the Left side. That pipe should have been extended closer to the culvert. The water on the Right, while flowing nicely in the right direction, is going to hurt the yard- killing the grass, washing out,etc. Having a pipe to safely evacuate that water would probably be a good idea. There was a lot of puddle-ing around the landscaping near the house/walkway. That might warrant attention with your gutter downspouts. That was a heckuva rain event! If that's a common thing, a consult with an experienced drainage professional might be a good idea!

You are so correct in everything you wrote! I have been working on this for the last 2 years and have made good progress! Goodness do I enjoy that kind of work! :) I will post a new video within the next couple of months would like some of our grass to start coming up for the year 1st.

French drain? Where is it?

@kevincrothers 2 жыл бұрын

Well this was before I added French drains in the front and the path the water was flowing under the ground was what I showed at the start of the video from the 2 catch basins and French drain that runs from the back yard to the side yard under the driveway... and you see all the water coming out of the capped exit... Now, I've put French drains in place in the front of the yard and from our water meters and the drainage during very heavy rains is really good.
