    I just want to thank you for making these videos. I live in Western Tennessee (Memphis) and our soil is all clay. I was about to lay hundreds of feet of French drain. Following conventional “wisdom” I had planned to wrap the whole thing in fabric. What a mistake! I look forward to joining your support group when I start laying the drain. Again, thanks so much!

    So when you laid your pipes, you only had gravel covering it?

    The grass on the west side of my house would NEVER grow until I got a French drain with basins installed. It was a swampy mess before. I have clay soil.

    Great video 😊. I was hoping you would do one of these. But if possible... Could you do one with regular soil as we have in Upstate NY...? Also...You have a container with a bottom. Naturally the water will hit the bottom and force it's way back up ..Using Hydrostatic Pressure. But ..The ground doesn't have a bottom ...How far down will natural ground soil absorb water till it comes back up to the French Drain Line? Can you maybe try same experiment 🥼 and cut the bottom off the container? Also by adding the...Catch Basins I believe that would also act as a air vent for the system allowing air to not only help dry it out in the lines but air and water can help with the flow ... And if you have multiple catch basins then you will always have air flow through the systems

    Is it a different process in the context of a french drain around foundations? I’m asking because I was u see the impression we’re trying to stop the soil around the house being saturated.

    The guy at Lowes says that using enough gravel eliminates the need for fabric and keeps it flowing. Is this accurate? I appreciate any input because I’m about ready to start a project In Ohio.

    Thanks Chuck. In an overall scenario and with your experience, would you recommend corrugated pipe or PVC for a french drain in a sandy type ground?

    Won’t it eventually form a concrete wall around the stone ? I have this situation. Both my neighbors properties slope towards me. My house was built between these 2 homes.Within a few minutes I have 3 inches of water on both sides. Takes a week to be able to walk on it

    How do you prevent roots from coming through your pipes if we don’t use fabric for clay soil?

    So my interpretation is this: Soil will compact and when that happens near a French drain, water bypasses it. Clay and sand remain permeable, allowing water to reach the drain. I’m unclear on what the rock aggregate does, given that the clay or sand will go thru it.

    An unwrapped clay system will be clogged in months...and gravel/rock is pointless if the soil can fill the voids. I suspect Chuck is playing that maintenance long game.
