Done! Glad to subscribe. Thank you for these informative videos.
Hey Chuck I live in a place where the normal flexible perforated pipe isnt available so I want to install a drain similar to this at the bottom of a basement ( partially underground) wall. Question is 1 or 2 lines of holes ? I was thinking 2 at 90 degrees to each other facing south west and south east , on a cross section view of the pipe ....Would this be correct ?
Thank you! Most people either show their work or talk about their work. You took the time to do extra work to demonstrate the idea you are teaching. Thank you for taking the time and extra labor. Great video.
Chuck, your vids were my guide to doing this in 2013 when we put a French drain In, works flawlessly without fail in all weather. We used to have basically a permanent rice paddy along a fenceline, permanently dry as a bone now. Thanks for taking the time to do these!
THANK YOU!!!! I was about to do a massive DIY drainage project at my house and I am so glad I came across your videos because I was fixing to install it holes facing up. I was literally like “this makes no sense why would the holes be toward the ground” but you did EXCELLENT job explaining everything.
Hi Chuck,
I learn a lot from TH-cam videos, BUT yours are absolutely the best video presentations I have seen in any category. You are the BEST. Thank You!
Thanks a lot for your explanation and video. You saved my biggest headache in designing my roof-top-garden. May God bless you with all good things in life.
The easiest to follow TH-cam tutorial. Best one yet.
This is an excellent video and finally makes sense of the whole thing. French Drains, Weeping Tiles, Agricultural Tiles - this is the principle of how they work and what they are for. Thanks so much!!!
I watched multiple videos and this is the ONLY one that made sense. thanks for the time it took to explain and set all that up. I'm actually in the middle of digging a trench to patch a Crack in my houses foundation.
thanks for the education.
Hh
Can anyone tell me if you use glue to keep the pipes together or that's not necessary?
@@justinabarnett2565 It couldn't hurt and if you're using PVC, it's really easy to do so I would say glue them so there's no question about the pipe separating.
I love this video. A great hands-on experiment with real world applications. The narration and presentation is all professional that explains well of what is happening in real time. The concept is technically simple and ingenious, yet critical in channeling away water preventing water build-up and pooling. I think the best application for my own non-load bearing wall project is directly behind the concrete footer on a slope. Any rain water will contact the perforated drain pipe BEFORE the footer. And thus redirected out to safely drain. Thank you for the great video !!
I installed my first french drain, Chuck. I appreciate your help.
Best drain tutorial on the entire internet
Thank you chuck for going out of your way and taking your time to show us the right way things should be done..👍👍👍🇺🇸
Chuck, once again you have earned my admiration and respect. It’s obvious that you love what you do for a living, and your sincerity shows that you are a man who can be trusted. I followed your recommendations re: catch basins, and I am greatly pleased with the results. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
Thanks 😊
Thanks for sharing clear demonstration process of extra water in garden. Great Job.
Good one Chuck...a clear, no bull, explanation. Thanks.
thank you for your explanation about drainage pipe. I was dealing to find this video for so long.
I have been watched hundreds of video's regarding waterproofing but this one is very fantastic and clear demonstration with practical. Thank you Apple Drains.
Kindly upload some videos on foundation sealing methods for high rainfall areas or for moisty ground.
Thanks
The best video on slotted drain pipes. Thank you.
Thank you. I Am getting ready to put in a drain and was contemplating which way to point those holes! I was looking for pipe that had holes on all sides so I wouldn't have to decide. But you saved me!
This man can teach so I can understand, this man can motivate so I do, God bless him, Good Teaching !!!
Chuck you are an AMAZING resource on this topic. Thank you for your time and energy.
Glad I watched this,and thanks for an excellent explanation of how this simple pipe works. I was about to drill more holes in 30 feet of pipe and my wife was wondering if I knew what I was doing. I also planned to face the holes up! We wrapped each 10 foot section with a single landscape fabric sticking it to the pie with double sided sticky carpet tape between holes. I think I should have used Flex seal waterproof glue in a cartridge. THis video saved me several hours of work. Thanks a million!
Thanks for explaining how water rises upwards from the holes in the bottom. I thought initially water came in from the top. Excellent demonstration, which I must admit made clear to me what others probably grasped without such a demonstration.
these are the some of the most educational videos for a home owner
wonderful video and the in-depth explaining of the water flow . alot of us do things through trials and usually not going the way we plan . thanks for the info.
Makes perfect sense after you explained it! Thanks man.
This video it’s the best and good detail ,I’m try build a retaining wall watching so many video on you tube no one explanation like chuck,thanks Chuck
chuck your youtube channel rocks. I seal my foundation wall by watching your videos.
The most useful explanation why the gravel is needed!
Idk if you will ever see this but man you have saved me a ton of money. And for that reason I want to say thank you.
So glad I found this video. I would have done this wrong, if I had not researched. Tyvm for sharing your knowledge !
Wow. I had this pipe in a house and didn’t know what it was. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Outstanding video, thank you for sharing and also your positive energy and outlook!
Thanks for the video- I knew about French drains but didn’t know about the pipe. Will use this method in future.
This is a great demonstration. I have seen other "Professional" excavators put the holes down. I learned about clay field tiles from my dad. We dug ditches in our property and used field tiles to drain it. He had a lot of patience, at times. He taught me a lot.
Right, that’s what he did. Put the holes down 🤷♂️
Thank you for the crisp and clear demonstration..
Thank you for this video. It's very a useful tip for the drainage problem that I am having right now.
Excellent video, good to know both the old and new drains.
Very clear explanation of holes down. Thanks
Thank you so much!!! Simply explained and easy for anyone to do.
Thank you for explaining it so well!
You're awesome, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Excellent demonstration brother! Pic is better than 1000 words
Great little demonstration comparing old Terracotta segmented pipe with thin-walled pre-perforated PVC.
This guy just saved me from making a huge mistake. I would have wasted hours of work for nothing.
Ty
Chucks vids were my guide to doing this in 2013 when we put one in, great stuff.
@@HiVizCamo is the one you put down in 2013 still performing well?
@@treefiddy2470 Yes, you might say it works flawlessly and without fail in all weather. Good luck!
Brilliant mock-ups. Thanks.
Thanks so much; this is a great tutorial. Could the other end of the pipe be left open or should an end cap be attached? Also could this be connected to to buried catch basin with 45 degree elbow?
This was a very good demonstration, very helpful...thank you...
Wow, this was a very helpful video. My concept was wrong. I used to think that the holes are supposed to be at the top. Thanks a lot for the video.
Thank you for showing me how to do this. I got lucky and watched your video before I made the mistake of installing them wrong! So you saved me!
Thanks. Excellent demonstration.
This guy has the best info on drains anywhere.
Bad info, holes point up or at least 90 and 270 degrees.
machia0705 Wrong point them down
@@machia0705 Yeah ok there idiot.
Zach Reese
idiot ?
Lollllll
Thanks , you sound intelligent.
@@machia0705 The OP of the video showed why holes down will work but you didn't show proof for your method so obviously no one will listen to your logic. If you're confident in your logic, attach a video or explain. That's all we need instead of saying "bad info". The OP proved otherwise that it works.
Thanks for the video, really easy to follow hands on approach.
Fantastic illustration! Thanks!
Im thankful for guys like you sharing these videos i learn everyday gods blessings
Excellent demonstration!
Quality work.
Thank you!
Very simple explanation good job Blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽
excellent video. You and your company are professionals
GREAT instructional video. Thanks for sharing
Now is understand that, Thank you for the demo!
Thanks for posting this - very insightful
You have taught me a lot with a every simple video and i thank you so very much ,, a very simple explanation for those of us who does not know ,,thank you sir ''
Excellent video informative and concise. Also very good camera work. Too many DIY videos focus on the instructor and not the subject. Thanks for this!
Thank you sir. Well explained. Now it's time to work.
Yes, this style piping with less holes on the bottom will do this well, many appear to use 4 inch perforated drain pipe or weeping tile. I have used the perforated drain pipe to drain a sump pump 40 ft. from a house to the ditch and hardly any water wound up in the ditch, because it had all drained out the bottom of the pipe into the clearcut gravel below.
Thanks chuck. This is exactly what I need for a 10 foot section of existing drains with speedy basins but I need just a little bit more in front of my shed. The drain goes under the shed but tends to build up at the doors but after watching this I'll have no more puddling issues. Thx again!
I really enjoy your videos. Thankyou
That is a very good pointer and you showed us how. Bob
Excellent video. Thank you!
Excellent demonstration
Great lesson, thanks for sharing!
Education is everything , thanks !
Really great video. It's awesome when folks will do one in a manner that shows why something is done a certain way. Thank you @appledrains. What would be a good type of pipe to use under an area that sees occasional vehicular traffic? Also, would a French drain be effective for a property with poor drainage and very wet soil so long as take away slope was attainable?
Excellent video chuck!
Great video. There is a lot of confusion about pipe orientation even amongst contractors as I experienced. One thing, however, is lining the trench first with geotextile fabric, then gravel, drain, more gravel on top and then closing it up with the geotextile fabric "burrito" style before covering with fill dirt will prevent fines from entering the pipe and potentially clogging the pipe. Adding a slight slope to the system will aid drainage as well.
100%! There are some so-called professionals that don’t even use rocks, or geotextile fabric just straight fill it with dirt. The right way is dig, fabric, rocks bottom, perforated pipe, then more rocks, cover with fabric and then finish with top soil!
We have so much clay I wonder whether I should rock all the way to top. Or use sand instead of native dirt
@@NR-pn6mn the traditional "French" drains used in agriculture backfilled with soil and depended on hydrostatic pressure to move water. Was used in an agricultural setting and much different application then we utilize around houses
@@sugumargovinda buy topsoil.
Good stuff. Helped me understand what I gotta do
Very good demonstration!
thank you. so so helpful. maybe we can have a garden again
I've always wondered why ppl said to lay the pipe with the holes downward. Now I know! Thanks!
it was very helpful. I live in Louisiana and water comes in my garage this could help draining water away from the garage somewhat .
Thank you for your expertise. Great video!
Excellent video. Thanks!
You are excellent teacher! Excellent!
thank you for that demonstration. I'll be building an outdoor shower and want the water to drain towards the flower garden.
Great job and great explanation !!!
wow thanks you just saved me from a big mistake, im planning to install my own this week. biggup. cheers
very helpful, thank you!!
Thanks from September 2019. Saved me from a potentially large problem on my upcoming DIY project.
Really liked how you explained that! I will do this. That's really dirty water coming out. Should I use mesh product to keep debris from getting in pipe. Also what's the best gravel type. Thx!
Thanks for the video. Great information. One question I am having some trouble getting answered; how close to a foundation should I place the drain. Im getting some seepage in my garage (no pooling). I'm reading about 2'away, is that correct? Any info would be great. Thanks!
I learned something well done sir
You're the best bro
Perfect demonstration VERY much appreciated
That was a great video! Thanks for the help
Thank you for explaining that!!
Thank you for this! I have heavy clay soil, so I'm guessing we'll want to wrap the pipe and rock as well?
thanks for this video. question i see some use plastic then the rock then the drain and fill with the rock on top is this what you do ??
thanks! much needed it!
Best video I have ever seen. Great work man! !! I looked everywhere for a video like this.
