Nothing beats experience in a field you work in and you don't compromise on quality which I see in most trades when money is tight

Fascinating videos. You should really show these systems in action “post install”.

Love this content. Although I've done this work before, it's not my specialty. Id be doing this with big equipment that I use for grading. Id have such a mess that I would to have to redo the whole yard! This is rewarding to watch. I'm in Georgia in the Appalachian mountains. It is not flat here and we don't have as a severe freezing issue. The houses here are mountain mansions and cabins. On the side of mountains. Most of the type of work here similar to yours is a farm pasture in low areas with spring heads / or ponding of surface water, a city bank type location in the old flat parts of town, basement wall drains, gutter drains, and the like. The depth that you go to in the projects is intense and I wonder how you don't get resistance to charging what this is worth? I cringe turning in a bill! I assume the Michigan people that hire you are desperate with very bad situations and they have the financial means to make the problem go away. From what I see is you guys do quality work with attention to detail! The micro machinery to do this is amazing. Smart.

nice job, lots of pipe and trenching. I like the swale option there, nice one. although, when we don't have the option to get under the frost line we make it a 3 season. I don't like to tempt fate and who uses their yard in the Winter anyhow? besides, kinks require a redig. keep up the great work.

I just saw it was a 1 piece discharge, no fittings. is that like Uponor water pipe? does it expand when it freezes?

@FRENCHDRAINMAN Жыл бұрын

@@kenbiggs7976 It does expand if it freezes. We don't use a check value so the water that's left in the line after the sump pump shuts off runs back into the heated, chambered Sump pump basin. We build 4 season because some homes flood in a January or February thaw. It's not just about the yard being wet for many people.

Great videos, thanks for posting. I still question the depth req'd for the sump discharge line in freezing areas like Michigan. You said you must stay below the frost line, roughly 42", but at the sump outlet, it only looks like maybe 12" or less? Wont this freeze inside the flex PVC line?

What’s your opinion on running French drains/open French drains in the back yard and converting them to 4” solid pvc daylight to the street out front? I’ve got 110’ from the back yard to the front and plan to run 1 open French 4” at my patio and 1 standard French in the back both to their own 4” solid pvc to the front.

Watch this so you know what I see all the time. After watching that you will know why I like corrugated pipe. The Blue solid Armor Pipe 💙
