- in this video we're going to cover how to build a french drain system we're going to show you that not all drain systems are created equal and why our blueprint will get you the highest results in yard drainage the advantages to having holes 360 degrees all the way around the pipe is you can take water in from 360 degrees you can fill this area this giant void that this pipe creates you can lay this on the bottom of the trench i don't have to worry about the bottom holes or bottom inlets getting compromised because i have eight total inlets going all around the pipe making this pipe superior to pipes with just holes on the bottom i can't stress that enough

Thank you for this! I have a drainage problem in my yard since its an old northern home with a narrow yard and a very hilly area. All the water pools at the back of my garage at the end of the yard. So sooner or later I need to install something similar. Since its a lot of tight spaces and only a few feet Im gonna diy since its probably too small a job for most contractors. Only issue is the best I can do is have the water drain out down a sidepath into the alley because of course there are no storm drains here.

Thanks for the advice. I have a plot full of clay, so draining will be most necessary.
Thank you for watching & good luck on your project.
Thanks for this run through on drains. The thing is, most of the problems we are trying to solve with these drains are to save our homes and yard living spaces. I have a new home with a 4'x2' open trench three channel and a runout ( 400 to 500 ft total) dug because of water in the crawlspace. It's huge and ugly at this point, but I couldn't be happier seeing the storm surges run to the street in those trenches as opposed to knowing the under home was wet. Go Big, Do it once and right. Do it quick. Me, I'll have open trenches for a few more weeks. Or until my orders come in. These products are just what I need to finish.
Where u buy the pipe at
@@larrytheplumber9851 Larry, I opted for the 2-hole PVC plastic perforated pipe from the local box store. ( I figured the 3 plus feet of rock was going to move enough water that a premium pipe would not be necessary as the rock would take care of 90% of the rain anyway.) I bought the fabric online 400' of 100' x 12' of heavy duty sandbaggy? I'm still dropping drain rock - have another 5 yards delivered today. So far 30 yards and I have maybe 100' total of completed covered pipe and rock in the out fall trench. The remaining should be less rock as the trenches are narrower. I have faith that my overkill in design and depth will eliminate ever needing a sump pump under the house.
Three days ago we had a 15 minute thunder shower go through the area. 10 min from totally dry to water flowing from the exposed outfall pipe, (which ran water for another 20 minutes). 40 minutes from storm to done running with nothing getting near the crawlspace.
Just sad that my first year at this new home will be remembered for this 66 year old man crawling around in the mud and muck under the house - digging, cleaning, and ensuring the water flows without effort through trenches. I told my wife that it must be tough for her, after all these years, that she has to live with husband who has become an 8 year old kid who just wants to play in the rain and mud all the time. You know the old saying- Make Hay when the sun shines - Well the adage for me would be Divert water when the rain is heaviest. I Spent alot of the winter maintaining the flow!
Good luck with your project, I love the ability to become adept in home,car,building,planting-lifes-work because of videos like these. Thanks too to the Drain Man.
I would love to see a camera view of inside the French drain pipe as it stars to rain, down pour and then stop. A HD pipe inspection camera should do the job.. Maybe also have a camera above ground at the same time. I'd watch it ;-)

Thanks Robert, Very informative and well illustrated. ??? What slope do you use on the French Drain pipe???
1% - 2% Slope
There is alot of controversy over whether or not to use fabric covering the whole trench or just on top of the trench. The method in this video is saying use fabric in the whole trench. If no fabric then over time the rock will get clogged with dirt and no water will penetrate to enter the pipe. But the caveat to that is. When using the fabric. The fabric itself will get clogged with dirt over time. Then become impenetrable. So water won't even enter the trench at all. Any thoughts on this?
th-cam.com/video/KiehdvVTu-8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Aq_6xmfSSRg8Fhvn
Yeah, my head about to explode over this. I'm in the Midwest area with a decent amount of clay. I'm thinking about not using a wrap because the fabric will clog way faster than the gravel. I think.
Robert great video and will research where to get this high octane pipe as i am building a house this spring and have standing water issues on my lot. You did not speak about gravity feed on piping? Also can you tell me where i can get high octane piping and what i should expect what to pay and also is there a brand name for your non woven double punched geo fabric and where you buy it.

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN do you have plans for including a database of approved contractors on your site? Your videos are informative and make sense but if someone doesn't live near you or isn't interested in DIY, it's tough to implement this system. Also, it would be nice to see how this system is constructed differently for a geographic area that is warm year round.

Another great video. Just wanted to share that you have helped us install a french drain for a wall we just put in, tied to the storm sewer. Thank you very much from WNY.
My only question is what kind of a slope do you guys usually go for over the run? It's not like it's moving solid way so I can't imagine it would be that extreme.
1% Slope
Man, talk about EXPENSIVE!!! I could probably just move to another house w/what this would cost!!
It's not that bad. If you like the area and home your living in its not that big of deal to install a French Drain System.
Very informative video! just bought a house. need a french drain system to link all my gutter down spout drains to drain into the canal. House is 15 y/o. existing french drains probably chocked with roots, etc. Many questions on how to know where existing irrigation pipe is located; what is the plum angle for a long run of pipe;
1% Slope
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN thank you!
Received my order on Friday, great products. For the 4" catch basin kit with the pop-up door, the bottom doesn't need to be capped? I'm guessing that just sits on the dirt without being capped?

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN I had no doubt that video existed. After watching, now I understand.
How do I install my French drain system with a basement? Do I dig down to the footers install that pipe on the bottom up against the exterior of the wall fill it with 1 1/2” rock and cover it like a burrito with the woven fabric and then fill the rest with the same rock all the way to the top? I also would put my downspout drains in a separate solid pipe on top of that and bring it all to daylight or do you have a better/different suggestion?? I am also going to waterproof the exterior of my basement wall any suggestions on how to do that??? Thank you. Your videos are awesome. West Virginia.
Do NOT go below the foot. Interior systems are shallow and only require 1% slope.

Just saw you answered the question prior about pumping it via an exterior sump. I just have seasonal issues (spring and fall) with an inch or so of water in my back yard. Are there any downsides to the horizontal dry well outside of the obvious of it only being able to hold so much water?

Thank you for watching
Excellent video. I'm on 1 acre and have cows on 1/4 of it and in the winter they get ankle deep in mud so I want to put in a french drain and bought enough filter fabric for the entire 1/4 acre pen where I'll put 1 1/2" rock on all of it then on top of that pea gravel then on top of that I might put washed sand so the cows can lay on it. The french drain goes all the way around their pen area which is on a decent slope to the west. Do you have a suggestion for the pipe that exits the pen and continues downward to the west and I don't have a storm drain to dump into, just a slight ditch that goes around the entire block (the ground just slopes down and then climbs back up to the road and is not cemented since we are rural)
Your discharge line to the ditch should be Dualwall corrugated pipe.
What about a comparison video with HydroBlox? I'm sure Octane will come out on top but it would be interesting to see.

We're building an A-frame cabin in a high snow/rain area. Traditional gutters won't work, as they'd likely be torn off by the snow sliding into/over them, and also the edge of the roof is close to the ground. We'll be utilizing a french drain system, and I'm wondering if there's a "norm" for how far out from the foundation the trench should be? Most of the house is roof (a-frame), so plenty of water coming off from it & I'm not sure if the velocity of the rain running off the steep roof makes a difference? Thoughts or advice?
th-cam.com/video/mSfXGLlyIKM/w-d-xo.html
Interesting
Thanks
Do you have to have the stone filling the trench all the way up close to the top of the soil level or can you put dirt in the trench? Say you last bit of pipe ends at 43” down, do you have to fill the whole trench with stone or can you do like 6” on top and then back fill with dirt so your not spending a ton on rock?
Watch this video it explains what you need to do

Hi, thank you for your video. Can I ask, what is the pitch or drop you look for in running a drain line? So many inches per foot or yard? Also, I'm in Maine, do i need to worry about the frost line for drain lines? Many thanks!
If you slope your drain properly, it should not hold water, meaning it doesn't matter if it's in the frost line or not. Slope minimum 1%
Video on knowing how much pipe is needed in a system. There must be a formula? Sometimes you use one line, others two, and then you see a quad pack show up.

Crushed screened limestone for foundation french drain. Round rock 1 1/2" for yard drainage
Hi. I see these "french drain " green currugated slit openning pipes at Home Depot ( the french drains I've seen in the past are stiff white ones with circular holes all around and throughout}. It was put at the end of a downspout so it's right at the foundation. It is long so it does route the water out further to a drain. Are these meant to be next to foundation above ground or further away to weap out the water further away from the foundation ? thx

Vinyl fence in yard blocks water from draining, it ponds in that one corner
Yes and water will rot the wood posts.
No mention was made of the absolute requirement that the french drain pipe must be sloped (min. 1/8" drop per ft of run) for water drainage to reliably occur. Otherwise, trapped water will pool in place and the entire project is for naught. Although that may seem obvious, newbies need to be told.
It's a benefit to have slope but if you do not have slope you can still build a fully Enclosed system. No debris gets in this type of build. We do flat Drains all the time. I will do a video on this. Thank you for commenting.
Surely that membrane slows the drainage flow
How would I build a French drain with T and elbow joins? I have not found a single video on doing so. Also, how would I manage the fabric wrap at those points?

So what happens to the grass over the high-octane pipe and fabric? Does it dry out easily because there isn't much moist soil? Just curious. Thank you.
Most our installations are on suburban lots with sprinklers. This home had sprinklers. We are in the North ( Michigan ).
Question for you. btw I am also in Michigan. You probably already have a video on this but I have to ask. What do you do when you have no where to run the french drain? I would have to trench probably 200 feet or so and go through the utilities to get to the ditch by the road and the customer would rather not have that. So my customer takes all the water from her neighbors, and most of her yard is pitched towards the house. Can I run a french drain 20ft off the house and around the house into a NDS dry well with a catch basin on top? fill the hole with 6a stone and backfill with it as well. Thoughts? I just don't know if you can use a dry well and french drain in unison?
Run. Don't take the job it will only be headaches. Tell the homeowner it goes to the ditch if you want it done right
How do I connect both lines of a double barrel french drain to a single solid discharge line? Can I run my sump pump discharge line on the same line as my the French drain line if its draining to a ditch/open air discharge?

What if the only rocks that we can find are the round rocks of 1inch to 3 inches mixed in with a bunch of small pea gravel. They are not washed but that's no problem because I can spray them with water to wash them. My main concern is the small size rocks that might plugged up the hole of the high-octane 8 slot pipe. So, what else can I do? Thank you.
Use a sock on the High Octane Armor pipe.
Thanks for the very helpful video. One thing I don't understand is, why cover the top of the pipes with the landscape cloth? Seems like that would reduce the flow of water into the pipes.

The perforated pipes I bought at Home Depot do not have holes all the way around them. I am considering drilling more as your video showed. Any downside to this and how many and where to make these holes?
The side wall is to thin so home depot pipe will collapse if you drill it out. Our pipe is at least 3x thicker side wall. I would take it back.

If I plan to pour a future horse shoe driveway over a small section of the French drain and across the discharge line, how much clearance on top of pipe do I need not to collapse the system?
The weight is displaced over a large area so the pipe will be fine underneath the cement driveway
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN thank you for responding so quickly. Can I use the high octane under the future driveway, or should I run heavy duty yellow for that section?
Hello, I just had a french drain (open/closed) and downspouts routed to a 4" PVC pipe, moving the water to a street sewer which my property has access to. This contractor used your products (wrap, 4" high octane corrugated drain pipe, large gravel, 4" PVC, and buttoned up the system like in your videos). Upon watching this video, your comment about removing all of the dirt from the trench is a must as it shouldn't be reused. In this case - the dirt from the trench was raked out beside the french drain along the side of the house. I'm asking this question as I went out this morning and walked the area beside the house and I have areas that are very saturated still. Should I be concerned? Thank you!
French drains work 365 days a year. Pending weather, it does take some sun and warm weather to make the ground firm. If it's cloudy and cooler, your soil will be soft and damp. Nothing drys the surface soil like wind, sun, and warm temperatures.
Are you able to drive over this french drain system. I need to do a french drain to a creek. I park my camper in my back yard and need drive over it. My camper and truck are heavy. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Pack the pipe(s) in crushed stone, it compacts and locks up tight protecting the pipe(s)
Thank you for commenting good question.
So use crushed stone to the top of the pipes then switch to the 1 1/2 in round stone to finish the drain? Or do crushed stone the entire channel? Thanks again
Pretty sure he has a video with him parked on top of this pipe with his truck wheel with little to no flex.
How heavy a non-woven geotech fabric do you recommend. I'm seeing, 4, 6 and 8 mil fabric. It seems like thicker fabric might not allow as much water penetration into the French drain system.
Non-woven Geotextile Fabric in 4 oz and 8 oz
frenchdrainman.com/filter-fabric/
We use 4 oz all the time
is it immune from the roots penetration? is it strong to handle with jetter?
Yes jetter and 1-2% Slope no roots
How wide a trench do you excavate for a double barrel system? What size bucket on the mini excavator?
9" usually breaks clay out to 14" that's our minimum. 12" bucket will be 17" brake out in clay. Depending on the type of clay and moisture in the subsoil at time of excavation. Need 14" minimum for twin pipe set up.
How this helps.
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN Ok, 14" it is. We dug up my well head recently and my soil was very sandy with a lot of rocks and minimal black dirt.
Round rock is very expensive where i am (its for decorative stuff)
can i used clean crush rock? (clean meaning they take out the fine bits and just leave you with the bit stones)
