A lot of times dumping basement water onto the yard just ends up back in the basement. It's a Neverending cycle. Get it far away from the property and it'll probably not run as often or maybe never. Unless their roof is dumping against the foundation.

Find out where the water is coming from. French drain is an underground collection device. First place to look is usually where the roof water goes. If water starts out above ground, keep it above ground and divert it.

You look like your having lots of fun. You might want to consider getting a manhole hook. You can let the hook take the place of the fingers. The driveway always has two layers of the asphalt paving. One is the base, and the other one is the final layer.

The homeowners should try to apply some waterproofing on the outside basement walls, to try to slow the flow of water into their house. Although it wouldn't matter much if the water is rising up through their concrete floor. If that was the case, they would need to removed the basement slab floor and try to plastic under the floor. Maybe they could put gravity fed french drains all around the basement and under the slab?

Nice work. From the looks of that yard the only decent grass they have will be the stuff you guys just planted. lol

The house seems to be up on a hill. Groundwater would be a problem in lower areas, even with the low basement. My guess would be there's an underground stream flowing to the foundation of the house. I think I'd dig holes in the backyard to locate it and then find a way to divert it. It's not good to have that much water going into the house no matter how many pumps or backups you have.

​​​@@tyelandscapinganddrainage great to see good work done by experienced and conscience folk. Even so if proper perimeter drains and foundation wall waterproofing are done properly, there is ample drop available to the municiple storm drain/sewer, to allow for free drainage? That alone should stop the bulk of the work for the pump/s. Dealing with the high water table is definatly a hard issue too deal with .. but two separated systems might sort most of it. My own property has same issue, hard clay about 2ft below finished grade and as water migrates down slope so we were getting more than was reasonable. So I installed a hard field drain ( 4" perf with 3/4 washed crush) around property at property line at about 3ft below finish grade that ran into a 4'x6' sump at lower corner of property frontage. That allowed us to use it as catch basin for sed trap. and then outfall to city storm system and also during watering restrictions we then could turn pump on to top up our 800liter ( 160gal-ish ) water butt for garden irrigation.. Again enjoy your show, young folk and some older would do well to watch and learn..obviously regional rules will vary but basics are the same. Cheers.

Interesting issues with that ground water. The house sits high enough, but pumps seem to be collecting more than would normally be expected? No doubt you guys have well sorted the out the issues with uncontrolled drainage, but as others mentioned the bills for those pumps to run plus the wear and tear must be significant.. Is there a perimeter drain around the house and crawl space? I had a house renovation several years ago with similar problem. With us it turned out ground water on the lot was being collected and back fed to sump pump in crawl space because perimeter drainage, and foundation waterproofing was incorrectly installed with out enough fall to the municiple start system despite significant available drop at property front.. we dropped the perimeter drains to proper level, and lowered the drain to ensure free flow at frontage.. thereby, pump became redundant as system the drained freely, the landscape contractor also installed additional field drainage around and across the back yard controlling surface drainage joining his system to ours at front of house.. Really enjoy your videos, as it is insight into groundwater solutions in a differant region..

You are right Doonhamer. There is no perimeter drain and they have a basement. This is a young couple and this is their first house. I also don't know how long they plan to stay in this house. They've gone the more budget friendly way of fixing this issue. If it were me and I planned on living in this house for 30 or more years I would definitely do a big water proofing of the foundation and have a french drain installed at the footer. The work we did was just a small fraction of what that would cost. Thank you for comment and enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tom

it is certainly nice to be in an area where they allow you to lift and move the sidewalk. unfortunately, some don't have that luxury as more and more towns here in the Northeast will not allow you to touch the sidewalk without an engineer involved. we work in several towns that have ordinances against going under the sidewalk, into the sewer system. take advantage of it while you can, as soon as someone with a "green agenda" gets into power in your area it will be a much different game. very nice video as always, keep up the great work!

10/10, the only thing I'd have done different is I'd have used white pipe & not the sewage-green pipe. In my area they have been keeping the white in stock where probably 2 years ago the green was all that was available in SDR 35(locally in stock).

As a landscaper and plumber I LOVE watching your videos. One thing that bothers me is you use outdoor glue for pvc but you don’t prime it. Therefore you are not completing the actual process of gluing the pipe together. I learned a long time ago that pvc primer softens the pipe up and the glue adheres better to the pipe creating an actual plastic weld other than that. Keep up the great work!

@tyelandscapinganddrainage

2 ай бұрын

Streb, Thank you for your compliment. I remember learning that about primer too. I've said in other videos that we use primer when gluing pipe that's under pressure like a sump pump discharge. We show the clear primer that we like. For regular pipe we use Fusion - clear cement for the white downspout pipes and Rain R Shine for regular pipe runs. Both of those are all in ones, or single step products. It states on the can that 'priming step is not necessary for non pressure pipe' and 'This medium body, low VOC cement eliminates the need for primer in PVC projects, saving time, money and cleanup.' Have a great day, Tom
