The Fortress Part 2 - Installing Patio Drainage and Diverting Downspouts

[@foggymtnbreakdown]

All of those PVC parts under and around the downspout are all glued together. What happens when you need to move/replace that downspout? What happens if you want to paint under it? What happens if you need to replace the stucco underneath it? What happens if someone accidentally dents the heck out of the downspout and it needs to be replaced? You can cut the downspout out with snips or an angle grinder or whatever to get it out in pieces, but how do you get the new one in? The area behind a downspout often suffers more than other parts of the siding as gutters often overflow at their low end, which is where the downspout is. This is not a pressure application. The water is just moving under gravity. In the video, to even assemble the parts, you need someone else to push down on the horizontal pipe to get it together. You've got one joint at the bottom of the Y that might have to be solvent welded, but I would even argue against that. In the future, someone else won't be able to get that downspout out intact (or a new one in) even if you remove the masonry nails and the screws or pop rivets at the top where it meets the gutter. In addition, the side arm of the Y is fitted with a threaded female fitting and then a threaded plug. Those 2 parts will cost you more than twice a simple cap just placed (not glued) on that part of the Y. I know, I just bought the 4" cap at Lowe's today.

You just can't make everybody happy. I'm sure there's a hundred different ways of doing this but I think its great! Another great vlog,keep up the good work.

[@kevinBallard-bv1fr]

Great call on adding the cleanout at the bottom of the gutter. So many do not and pay later...Good job, home owner will thank you when it plugs...

[@nicholask8573]

Great video thank you

[@ReauDog]

At the pop out end it should have been a T joint. Top end should have been pop-out and below a 2-3 foot hole filled with pea gravel. That would keep the area of the lawn at the end fairly dry also.

[@jacke1129]

Agreed. Popouts can work in the right situation and climate but it just seems like too many are either not installed correctly or simply used as an end all be all solution.

A lot of behind the scenes stuff that will never been seen or appreciated that serve a very important purpose to the project. Very well done guys, always going above & beyond. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

You know it my friend!!

[@chivasporvida1997]

It seems you guys went above and beyond for your customer..great job. I’m sure they were happy with the outcome

[@Alex-lo6yt]

You guys build Some of the best decks I’ve seen! Props from British Columbia Canada!

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Much appreciated my friend!!

[@johnwisniewski8712]

I’m gonna be honest I wasn’t looking forward to watching a video about drainage but I have to say that I learned some stuff. You’re doing the good fight man!

[@paragonaragon-t3m]

long sweep 90 y instead of a T. dont you think? tough to make the turn with a snake from clean out if needed

[@infamousdetails8406]

Been checking all day for new vlog!!!!

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Hopefully it was worth the wait!! Kinda boring content on this one though lol

[@infamousdetails8406]

Lol sometimes our work can be boring but y’all do a good job of making it look fun lol

[@infamousdetails8406]

Amazing channel man

[@ChapmanMain]

4:00 That was glorious lol

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Hahah that was my favorite part

[@davidproctor5055]

Fun video. Did you guys account for possible pooling of water in the pop-up emitter and a weep-hole to allow that sitting water to drain out? If not, would be an easy fix.

[@mdbrenna]

This was awesome

[@vlogsbyjayciresi403]

Could you please list all the PVC in material that you used and the size and where to buy? I'm a new homeowner. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@infamousdetails8406]

Damn y’all really go above and beyond!! Props from Louisiana!

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Thank you my friendnn

[@tacticaljody4381]

Aww. Nice job.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Thank you as always my friend!

[@felixgaming4741]

Sweet! Never been this early before

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Wooo!! First comment!

[@whiskeyblood7258]

Did you guys install any french drains or drainage solutions for standing water?

[@fintan3563]

Does the water now drain to the neighbor’s yard?

[@catpower6003]

Nice work

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Thanks a lot!

[@Henson-Hien]

Hi 🙂! Would it be a good idea to use a Tee PVC as a catch basin instead of a regular 6in catch basin?

[@cody1612]

Not sure where this was but do you worry about freezing at all?

[@mikeganard6751]

Is the pipe pitched towards the pop out or it doesn’t need to be because the pressure will push the water out. Also does the pop out just attach to a 90 degree fitting?

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Water will come out regardless once the pipe fills up, but we like to have a decent pitch so the pipe doesn’t stay full of water all the time

[@mikeganard6751]

@@THEpremieroutdoor is that 4” pvc and the pop out does that just attach to a 90 degree fitting

[@Matipolandscaping]

Mega work! Always nice to chuck in a freebie to the good clients 👌💯 Crazy how much important work gets covered up, never seen again 🤣

[@sigunz]

Am not a fan of the new camera, made me dizzy watching the vlog, unlike previous videos! doesn't seem to be anywhere near as much motion stability with the new camera! great work though guys

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

I think we’ve got some learning to do with the new equipment!

[@pasinggas2713]

How to piss off your neighbors by diverting all the water with the pop ups next to his yard. Check your bylaws first

[@jasonkeller5732]

One of my favorite drainage channels on KZbin is Robert Sherwood's the French Drain Man channel. I'm assesing my property's drainage needs at the moment. How long did it take you all to dig that trench? Also just watched a FDM video on Sch.40 freeze test. You should check him out.

[@shanew7361]

I hope they don't aerate their lawn. Those pipes are likely to get smoked.

[@PedigreeMongrel]

Was the water table really high there? Why not just use a deep soak away front and back? Would save digging a very long trench to nowhere

[@fiery8823]

I do not regret clicking this video even though it has no use to me :) lol

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

That’s exactly what makes KZbin so great 🤣

[@ericpaz2854]

Cooler full of DC's mean Delicious Coors right? This must be a midwest thing if so!

[@viewingeye3233]

Wait sooo now the neighbor is going to get all that water? Lmao

[@omartrujillo6491]

Next time use a combi tee , the sweep is longer

[@hanzon]

New camera, try not to make too hasty movements with the camera, you get dizzy from looking.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

We’ve definitely got some learning to do with the new equipment!

[@gmcjetpilot]

You guys installing those big sewer cleanouts make your house look like s***. I mean it's really overkill and UGLY.. I cut the downspout short and run a flexible connector between the downspout and the PVC underground pipe. You can easily pull the intermediate flexible coupler out to clean. The other method is to put in a trap catch in your downspout. The other method is to put a catch storm basin in ground and just let the downspout drain into that. That will filter out all the leaves and roof granules.

[@Fixyu-vp6xz]

That’s nt good job 👎🏻

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Why not ? 😢
