How to Install a Channel Drain | DIY Turf Drainage
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Our client in this video had a new turf yard installed. It looked great, but the grading was done improperly and it was causing the back room of the home to flood. This contractor "attempted" to install a two inch channel drain to prevent the flooding, turns out, the drain had no exit, and was filled with rocks and dirt!
We came in and installed a nice, wide, 5inch NDS Channel drain, and paired it with a 4inch drain pipe to make sure it could keep up with a heavy rainstorm!
This whole install took us less than 3hrs, start to finish, so it's definitely a great DIY project if you have a similar situation!

Thanks!
Nice description of the old channel drain and dirt,, but the same thing happens when your pipe does not exit to day light, dirt collects in pipe because it can't go UP and out the pop up emitter. dirt sits in bottom of pipe and fills it up until its clogged and useless..

We always tell our customers, no drain is maintenance free. Without a pop-up, squirrels here will climb in the pipe and chew holes into it unfortunately. That being said, we do dig under the pop-ups and fill the space with drainage rock, and the pop-ups have decent sized slits in the bottom of the 90 to release silt and water when it's low. Luckily there won't be much dirt or debris in the line anyways, as its all turf around. Thanks for watching!

Normally we would, this gutter was installed to low below the roofline so water unfortunately just goes right over it.

guten tag !! Joe and Nash are growing!!! Love to see more comments and questions Thanks so much
why wouldn't you tie into the downspout? isn't that downspout going to drain next to the footing and door?

The gutter that’s connected to the downspout doesn’t catch any water, it was installed too low, water runs right over it.
What holds the channel drain in place? No concrete like so many other videos show. I need to install one for a similar issue with our storehouse and don’t want to seat the drain in concrete.

Great Question, we set many of our channel drains with concrete. This time we just used some rebar as stakes to hold it against the slab under the doorframe, used Sikaflex to close any gaps, and backfilled the sub-base and recompacted it. If it were just soil we would've used cement, as soil is more likely to washout if water gets in it.
