Where did you find that long 4" sidewalk auger bit? I am just completing a 1,500' gutter drain project on my farmhouse in Alabama. Your videos were extremely helpful. Thanks. I did use SDR 35 PVC because with my footage of pipe, schedule 40 was just unaffordable. Still Schedule 30 is better than that corrugated flex junk. I think the SDR 35 will last decades. If I should have a failure, I figure I can find the break and fix the pipe. Thanks for the great videos. I am a Construction Law Attorney and a General Contractor with 45 years experience and I appreciate a KZbin video with someone who uses logic and common sense and knows what they are doing versus the other guys who are snake oil salesmen.

I got the auger from www.customaugers.com/ Call Becky and she will set you up. We used it the other day and it bored under a sidewalk in minutes. Fantastic. SDR 35 is good stuff and you won't have any problems with it. I use schedule 40 because it has better availability and fittings.

Once you get a pipe in the ground a good 12 to 16 inches, it will be fine no matter what it is. I would still stay away from the cheaper brands of single wall corrugated though. I use dual wall corrugated for straight runs and Baughman single wall corrugated for the bend up to the downpouts. works great if it's put in right.

Do you guys use a laser level with detector to make it easier to dig the trench. I notice you guys have problems with the fall sometimes and have to bring out the machine again and sometimes multiple times. It would be a lot easier to check as your trenching with a laser level you can set for a particular slope.

We do use the laser when we're trenching along flat ground. We have found it takes forever to set up the laser and get the fall with the laser and we are still checking everything with the level. Sometimes we just trench it again. 👍

2:30 6" is rated at ~27.84 GPM with the 20" probably rated at ~134 GPM. I'll be changing my discharge to a gray or black dual-wall UV resistant plastic. 18:12 10/10 You might be the only one (excluding corrugated installers as it is UV resistant). If you ever feel a need to battle a corrugated TY installer the ADS Drainage Handbook has some interesting facts. Self-cleaning requires a minimum of about three feet per second of flow with 4" corrugated needing ~3.5% slope (~123 max GPM), 6" corrugated needing ~ 2.25% slope (~289 GPM), & 4" smooth-wall only needing .9% slope to achieve 3fps (~135 max GPM). 99% of land around here has 2% or less slope so corrugated isn't really an option except for exposed sections connecting gutters to the smooth-wall.

Bob the Slacker I agree. It’s hard to watch these people pushing garbage information. As far as landscapers installing corrugated, I don’t think they know any better. This is because when you go to the landscape supply house they have rolls of corrugated and scissors to cut it. So that’s what they install, no fault of their own. I’ve even had customers whose Landscaper’s installation of a French drain made things terribly worse with the basement flooding. I explained the same thing to her and spent considerable time with her, plus my channel here until she was comfortable spending considerably more money on the same problem. She reported in that there is absolutely no water coming in now where there was always a little. That video is coming soon.
