Popping the bubbler top will allow for better flow in a rain storm like this and will also allow for any leaves and crap in the pipe to blow out, cleaning it out with the increased flow.
@@neilmurphy845 it is a floating cap, that pops up when rainwater comes down pipe and encounters the bubbler, otherwise it stays closed to keep grass, dirt, debris and small critters out. Plus blends in with grass so can be walked on, mowed over and such. French drain is a ditch structure with either a porous pipe and surroundings or simply filled with coarse stone that allows water to flow into into it and the sloped pipe carries it away. A 'normal' drain is simply a solid pipe buried in the dirt usually with one opening and one exit.
By the looks of things you get rain like this often. The pipe draining your back yard needs to be bigger ore more. The east side is handling one hell of a lot of water. Good luck stay dry
Thank you and you were certainly correct I have stepped up this training and am enjoying the work! I will post another video where our yard stands today with drainage soon as we get a little grass growing this year. Take care, Kevin
I have to route the water 2 ways 1 for front and one in the back I will post a new video soon showing how I have developed this really fun work! 2 ways 1 for front and one in the back I will post a new video soon showing how I have developed this - really fun work!
Tons of new construction neighborhoods near me use these same setups which is so odd to me, or they have curbs that lead too Culverts that drain to ditches at the backside of the houses
You need to update your drainage system your pipes are probably too small but you should find a way to save that water in 1000 gallon tank put a pump system in where you can suck it up put it in a tank put the tank in the shed so it doesn’t look stupid one problem is they should’ve raised your foundation a bit which it looks too low to me
That is not a 'French Drain'- on the Left side. That pipe should have been extended closer to the culvert. The water on the Right, while flowing nicely in the right direction, is going to hurt the yard- killing the grass, washing out,etc. Having a pipe to safely evacuate that water would probably be a good idea. There was a lot of puddle-ing around the landscaping near the house/walkway. That might warrant attention with your gutter downspouts. That was a heckuva rain event! If that's a common thing, a consult with an experienced drainage professional might be a good idea!
You are so correct in everything you wrote! I have been working on this for the last 2 years and have made good progress! Goodness do I enjoy that kind of work! :) I will post a new video within the next couple of months would like some of our grass to start coming up for the year 1st.
Well this was before I added French drains in the front and the path the water was flowing under the ground was what I showed at the start of the video from the 2 catch basins and French drain that runs from the back yard to the side yard under the driveway... and you see all the water coming out of the capped exit... Now, I've put French drains in place in the front of the yard and from our water meters and the drainage during very heavy rains is really good.
This needs some post10 help the keeper of the culverts he could fix this with the rake of honour
Rake of honour 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Ant he must have been disappointed “ant”
honor*
I'd be be more comfortable with that drainage if post 10 were on the job
Post 10 would have this sorted in 5 mins
Нет, сообщение 10 осушит за 2 минуты, за 5 минут он осушает 1 милю дороги. Это знают даже в России.
Chang chong Chung don't know what you saying
Take the cap off! It will drain your yard faster 😀 👍👍
Great video

@@ryanwaltos2206 Why is there a cap on it anyway and what's the difference between a French drain and a normal one.

I didn't see you drain anything.☹️ Maybe I missed something.
You didn't drain anything or did I miss it
That’s 5 minutes of my life I’ll never get back

Wow that is a lot of water! Nice neighborhood. Happy New Year!
Can’t understand the benefit of draining Water into the centre of a Lawn and inundating another area?

Post 10 guy come fix this!
That's an American drain. . . If it was a French Drain, it would be in France.
surface runoff and open ditches i thought it was the 21st century not the 18th century

you should bury a big container on property and use the rain water for sprinklers
You know I did think of that but goodness with that kind of rain my sprinklers were staying off with the auto sensor all the time :)
Could have used help from Shawn at Gate City foundation drainage but he’s in Georgia. Check his channel

Thank you for the survey-why don’t you help it by uncapping the lids?

why not clog the drains and make a bigger channel towards the culvert. it will drain in minutes!
Great idea but I handled this in a different manner can't wait to make a new video and show you all thank you for the comment! Take care, Kevin
@@kevincrothers can't wait on your videos Kevin. Thanks for showing us. God bless
where is the under ground pipes , curb and channeling , culverts like other towns / cities around the first world countries
Need bigger pipe.
Maybe you should dig down some fascines and use the free water from them to water plants, wash car etc. 😄
or water tanks for every roof in your town to collect the fresh water ..so it;s not just going to the ocean
I wonder, does our go to guy Post 10 make house calls?
French drain? Where is it?

How many dislikes? can't see now.
Those are not French drains.
What a stupid system.
Yes I agree and have remodelled
What a waste off time🤔
You need Post 10, 100 %
They need to stop comparing you to post 10 he ain’t the originator … he’s mr culvert foh
Yawn!😌😴
OK will try to do better with my next one :)
This was sooooo boring.
I agree I will try to do better with my next one hopefully you will watch :)
