    • @BradfordOutdoor
      @BradfordOutdoor 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If you can I always recommend schedule 40 for the PVC side of things. Its just so tough. But for your situation SDR 35 would be a great choice as well. I would get which ever one was cheaper.

      @philipbohi983 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Soil separation fabric is only needed with perforated pipes, typically found on french drains where excess subsurface water is an issue. This system is correct - it’s taking surface sheet water and getting it away from the foundation.

    I'll be running a drain pipe for backyard water, parallel with my concrete driveway, about 1.5ft distance from the driveway. Occasionally someone in my household will "miss" the driveway and might roll a vehicle over the ground above the pipe. Because of that possibility, maybe I should spend more for stronger schedule 40 pipe, in order to avoid pipe collapse due to vehicle weight?

    • @BradfordOutdoor

    I wonder how much pitch you would have left after installing a riser on the popup. I think that should be your final measurement. The hose test would be a good idea.

  • @beagley
    @beagley 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Planning my project. I’m draining a yard (not real big) and one gutter from the house, all into a 4 inch pipe. Will that same pop up on the end allow that amount of water to drain? Seems like (of course) you need to provide >= drainage for the water you’re collecting.

    • @BradfordOutdoor
      @BradfordOutdoor 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Best thing to do is daylight the pipe. forget the pop-up if possible.

  • @gregorynami2490
    @gregorynami2490 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video. I had a similar system installed but the landscaper didn’t drill a hole at the 90, so we have standing water in the pipe. I have to dig them up and drill a hole to let the water run out. My question, is the stone enough to keep debris out or would you recommend a sock or sleeve over the drilled hole?

    • @BradfordOutdoor
      @BradfordOutdoor 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Gravel seems to be enough. But a nice drainage fabric wouldn't hurt.

    • @philipbohi983
      @philipbohi983 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Having geo textile fabric can’t hurt but generally isn’t necessary at the end of the line like this video. At that termination point, the water pressure and velocity will be pushing out any minimal shmutz that gets in that drain hole. It really depends on your soil. If you have clay (like I do), then yes - dig it up and create a dry well and line it then fill with gravel. If your soil drains, don’t bother - just remove the popup or grate at the discharge point and drill a hole easy peazy. If your lawn is normally dry within 48 hours after rain or irrigation, your soil drains.

    If I have a 20’ long area of low ground that pools water and I put in catch basin drains, how far apart should I space them? I have to T them off or Y them into a main drain pipe toward a sloping drain line that runs toward the the top of a hill before dumping. How low should the basin sit when the grate cover is in it? Thanks.

  • @brucearmstrong3526
    @brucearmstrong3526 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For the instance where you just " burrito wrap " the rock , ( no pipe in trench), even though you have 1 % slope, what transports the water out of low end of Trench? Doesn't it just flow through water, then down to ground and soak In? Seems as pipe would be the true conduit. If pipe is not necessary, then you'd waste a lot of money on it. Not being negative, just inquisitive.

    • @BradfordOutdoor
      @BradfordOutdoor 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure what you mean? The example I gave was just to Show you that even without a pipe the french drain system could function. Although not optimally. I have never installed a system without pipe. But it could be done. You just need to get creative. If I had a french drain without pipe I would still install a solid pipe on the lowest end of the burrito wrap to grab the water up and take it away. I don't recall this video but Maybe the point I was making was you could have a burrito wrap under the ground with no discharge. If it was deep enough it would really just be a big dry-well. Idk interesting comment you got my brain running. Thanks bro!

  • @Good-Vibe24vlog
    @Good-Vibe24vlog 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great job 👍. I was wondering why where you have the clean out...Using a catch basin to catch shingle gravel...I plan on putting a catch basin pretty much where you have the clean out ...And a leaf debris filter on downspout...

    • @BradfordOutdoor
      @BradfordOutdoor 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The way this particular system is set up There is not catch basin which we know is optimal. I knew that when I installed this. Where people run into problems is when the system is set on flat grade. With this system we installed a clean out cap so that you can access the system with a hose, flush it all to the bottom of the system and clean it out there. I Would recommend a leaf filter from the French Drain Man. I have used them recently. They rock.

  • @dattajack
    @dattajack 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How could that clean out possibly protect your system from roof gravel any where close to what a catch basin could do? Once the gravel gets past that clean out you're screwed and your system will get filled up then clogged up, no?

    • @BradfordOutdoor
      @BradfordOutdoor 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Well is seems you do not understand what the difference is between a clean-out and a catch basin. See a catch basin is both a "catch basin" and a clean-out where a clean-out is just an access point to clean-out the system. This still beats not having any access point what so ever which is what I see every day. This system will be easy to maintain. Open the cap, flush with a hose, take the pop-up off and clean it out. I'm not arguing a catch basin would have been better, but sometimes you need to work with a customers budget and this particular customer did not like the look of a catch basin. So this is what they got and no problems so far! Thanks bruh.
