All I can say is I’m sitting in the middle of hurricane Ian here in Florida and i can’t be happier and more prepared with the 209 foot Baughman tile French drain I installed myself over a year ago! Learned everything here on FDM TH-cam ..Two 4inch high octane French drains plus a solid gold tapped in all my four gutters plus one neighbors on one side- will post action as long as I make it out alive
We live in Indiana, lowest part of town, by a creek, 6 houses dump towards our house since we live next to the creek. WE NEED THIS! Thank you for the video.
I’m hooked on your videos. You have great explanations and detail what you’re doing very well. Highly entertaining. Next season, I’ll correct my drainage issues using the products you use. Question, why does the Baughman co advise putting a gravel layer down as bedding? “2. Bedding Tubing should be bedded in gravel. In some situations, customers choose not to use the required gravel backfill, and instead elect to use a soil backfill material such as crushed stone or compacted soil and are still able to achieve satisfactory results. The bedding material should be placed around the tubing to a depth at least 2” over the top of the tubing. When selected soil bedding material from the trench excavation is used, choose small loose particles of soil that will flow around the tubing and minimize soil settling. Avoid large rocks that may damage the tubing or large clods of soil that cause voids and subsequent excessive settling.
Great video, what do about a section a of lawn that floods after rain BUT the water table is about 3ft below grade...have sump pump in basement crawl space...
At 3:40 the PVC stubs are shown. How are those stubs secured to the corrugated pipe prior to attaching the HDPE connector? I have a 18” corrugated through my backyard. I would like to have an answer before I discuss with the city. Thanks. I enjoy watching your videos the information is very helpful.
Thank you for your informative videos. My question is the sump pump system - looks like 2 chambers but isolated somehow? And where was the final discharge line emptying - the creek I would presume. Was that the pvc connection?
I'd really love to get your advice on how to solve my large area drainage issues. I've watched heaps of your videos, I have lots of info but applying them to my situation is a bit overwhelming. I'm in Melbourne (Australia). Might try to join your live help next time.
I have a playlist I put together. Watch the 40 most recent videos they will answer all your questions. These are complete detailed videos. th-cam.com/play/PLjFCqaZ4v1BVyusRT3qfGPooNnHpHaoJg.html
I live in western washington state near the columbia river, in the hills parallel. I have an in ground pool, made of concrete, about 15 ft deep.... There is a pond above the pool that has a waterfall that is about 8 ft from the water line of the pool............. There is an aquifer underneath the pool........................................... Also..... there is a creak behind the property about 20 yards from the pool that is about 10ft higher than the waterfall/pond.......... The pump house is at an elevation between the waterline of the pool and the pond. My pool has risen out of the ground. What would YOU do in this situation..?
Thank you for commenting. I usually do show the yard back together. I had to leave for appointments and I'm the part time Videographer. There are some sump system yard drains in this playlist that show the yard put back together th-cam.com/play/PLjFCqaZ4v1BXXbPw3Vf7e86DbKj7qOnLn.html
Why do residential yards need fabric and round rock around their pipe, but large farm field drainage just covers theirs with dirt? Why don't theirs get clogged?
Because it's miles long. The longer the run the greater the collection of water. If you ever water a agricultural system during a rain it flows like a fire hose.
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN Gotcha. My dad did tile drainage for most of my life. And now that I own a home I could never understand why I need fabric and rock and he didnt. Thanks for the answer

Love finding niche channels like this, and as someone studying landscape architecture this is very interesting

If you hsve a basement it wont work ,
Great information as I’ve been exploring ideas on how to build something like this for myself possibly. I have a high water table

“2. Bedding
Tubing should be bedded in gravel. In some situations, customers choose not to use the required gravel backfill, and instead elect to use a soil backfill material such as crushed stone or compacted soil and are still able to achieve satisfactory results. The bedding material should be placed around the tubing to a depth at least 2” over the top of the tubing. When selected soil bedding material from the trench excavation is used, choose small loose particles of soil that will flow around the tubing and minimize soil settling. Avoid large rocks that may damage the tubing or large clods of soil that cause voids and subsequent excessive settling.
They focus on Agricultural Drainage. I do suburban and urban Drainage. Very different.

Brilliant!
Very good video. Im curious on the typical width of your trench x average depth. I know this is a 4" drain x 2 drain pipes. TIA. Mark
14"x16" it varies
Any idea on the monthly cost to operate something like this?
It's so low that it goes unnoticed

What's the cost for a project like this?
th-cam.com/play/PLjFCqaZ4v1BXXbPw3Vf7e86DbKj7qOnLn.html&si=fWKthNE80ztXPigt
Why wasn’t stone placed below the perforated pipe? I thought that was important.
th-cam.com/video/wPkMB7qlUSo/w-d-xo.html
This is great but I was looking for something cost efficient…
th-cam.com/video/FK5ZlN0Ogow/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eR_J8deenGdcm2Yy
Why didn’t you just daylight the water into the creek?
th-cam.com/video/wPkMB7qlUSo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jbNqFQoQ9wiIzjKG
Water is proballt at height of the basement drain tile or higher
Looks like a *very* expensive project.
Cheaper than moving expenses. Location and schools are great.

My clients do not notice a difference in their electric bill
