Awesome. Thanks and keep posting videos. I have a 75 foot long 15 foot driveway sloped down from road to my side yard. When it rains the ground by the end of the driveway is saturated. What would you suggest. I’m thinking of an end of driveway drain. Your thoughts would be appreciated. TIA
I’ve installed 4 of these and I LOVE-LOVE them! I recently had a concrete sidewalk installed over the 3” drain pipe, very close to the catch basin which left the basin super low… QUESTION: do you sell a riser for the basin which left?
Every part scene in this video was made by us. All of it is molded right here in Michigan, even the Virgin pipe that is, our 3 inch plus is made here in Michigan, so these kits are not just strictly U. S.A. made in all French drain man branded parts, it's pretty much "Pure Michigan." It took 3 years to get all these parts made. There's a lot of money in tooling.
Hello I have a question, is it better to use pvc pipe or corrugated pipe under cement because i need to know because I’m going to get my channel drain replaced and I am getting my gutter downspout installed under cement so I just need to know if I should use pvc or corrugated?
Probably a stupid question-but why is the leaf filter connector to the “not quite 90” black if the system is white? Shouldn’t that be the same color as leaf filter to match all the way into the ground? Seems like the color of the 3 inch plus pipe is less important to match since it’s buried in the ground.
@brballinger That riser is dual-wall pipe; it only comes in black. What if you buy a kit 10? You could run the white pipe right up the side of your house to the white leaf filter.
It's not a 90° fitting, and that's what everyone uses, but it's wrong to use a 90° because then the line comes out with no slope. Not only does the not-quite-90° put your line on the perfect slope, but it also has a softer bend at the elbow. When the water falls off the roof, it picks up velocity; you don't want to lose that velocity. That is a patented part.

Nice video Robert I wish you would have mentioned how much those kits cost

What do you cover your catch basin with a solid cover and may you also need a riser ??

Thank you for the simple and clear explanation. Is elbow quite not 90° made by you or you get this from the supplier?

Why is it called "Not quite a 90" ? What is it ?
It's not a 90° fitting, and that's what everyone uses, but it's wrong to use a 90° because then the line comes out with no slope.
