I have a neighbor that is higher to North side. I picked up two of his downspout with mine downspout's to a sump basin wbich pumps to street. To South my neighbor is lower and have second sump pumping which catches my French Drain and downspouts. It also pumps to street. I could have dumped it on his property, but that would not be cool.. Last on hill behind all of our homes my house is a parking lot for duplex. It dumped water into my yard and South neighbor. Issue was tree roots were blocking the flow of water and diverting it into our yards. Even though it wasn't on my property I got permission and had all these huge tree roots (maple, elem) ground down and I hand dug an 80-foot open ditch to direct the water parallel to the property line. This was a huge win for me and my neighbors. So not only did I fix my own lot I had to fix the lot to the north of me and behind me. In both cases it was helping me as much as my neighbors. It too, months of work. Spent less than 5 grand DIY. If I had to pay for it would have cost tens of thousands of dollars. The only thing I farmed out was grinding the roots and putting in a concrete sidewalk on the side of my house.

On one of your other vids I think it was a 2 fer. Doing 1 house and adjacent neighbor. You picked up down pipes except for one that discharged onto the sidewalk. The low spot between houses was still wet after a rain event, I think. So, I'm wondering if you were to tunnel under the sidewalk to the foundation wall, put in a small catch basin below the downspout. You could drop the downspout into the catch basin and tunnel under the sidewalk into the side of the catch basin. Yes it would be a pain but one vid it took the guy 10 minutes to go under a 5' ish sidewalk using water pressure and on another vid the guy went completely under a driveway using a spear device and sledgehammer. Coring the curb took you 45 minutes and that coring bit is about 400$ plus tax and extensions. Don't know about the other coring device costs and the ones they used were max 2", clearly not big enough. Anyway, just an idea, a way to get more money out of a job if the customer agrees to it.

I think it’s time for you to create a proper intro for your videos
@GCFD3 жыл бұрын
Do you have any suggestions? I'm not sure I want an intro because it provides no content. I've thought about it for sure!
@zizoumonk103 жыл бұрын
It could be something as simple as a 5-10 second intro with music (maybe some of that trance you often use) with title graphic that contains company name and contact info or a short video montage of some of your greatest drainage hits.

Watched the French Drain Man promoting corrugated pipe over PVC, claimed it was turbulent and self cleaning and superior to PVC for that reason. I think he failed to realize what you've shown us time and time again, water continues to sit in the pipe, and with it, the dirt and shingle dust that tends to comes with it over time. In my mind, when that water has a chance to dry out, it will leave a hard clay or sludge in the ribs over time, and eventually add more drag and cause imperfections that grow into deposits over the years. It would seem that a decent fall, producing a relatively constant velocity, along with smooth surface, is going to remain the most unobstructed (self-cleaning) over the life of the pipe. Turbulence is rarely your friend unless going slower is the goal.
