I used 4” pvc pipe and wrapped it with a sock. I also burrito wrapped the trench and filled with river rock gravel. Haven’t had any issues in 8 years . I really enjoy the info , I wish I saw these videos 8 years ago.

Water doesn't discriminate. Doesn't matter how nice the yard is or what zip code it is. Some of the nice yards that have a lot of landscape and a pool area have the biggest water problems because of all the obstacles.

Questions for you.. do you ever run your drains around the house along the fotter. Or is your process for drain complete differnet?

What do you use to secure the burrito wrap? I wouldn't think those big landscape staples wouldn't hold.

What do you suggest for very very fine sandy soil

Do you know of a distinction between "detention" and "retention" ponds?

Menards sells Prinsco pipe out of Illinois. I cannot crush it so it seems very well manufactured. It does have less inlet like the ADS pipe.

What kinda drone you got there Robert?

Lowe's has a green colored fabric made from recycled plastic. It looks to be about 1/16" thick. Will this stuff work well for wrapping the aggregate and pipe ? Supposedly it blocks weed roots and will pass water through.

What size stone do you use

Have a link for the blue pipe you use??

I really enjoy your videos. Excited for my DIY project. Feeling confident. I get now why you use a double barrel system. Quick question though that I'm unclear about. Do you connect the two pipes at the end with a Y connector and attach a popup emitter to one of the pipes?

@FRENCHDRAINMAN

That's a loaded question. Need slope to discharge with a pop-up emitter otherwise you need to lift the water with a small sump pump. I'm assuming you have no drop off of any kind?

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN I have slope. What goes at the end of the 2 corrugated high-octane perforated pipes? If I put an emitter at the end of one pipe, do I close the other one with an end plug or connect it to the other pipe?

In this video you say not to use a sleeve/sock, but in another one of your videos posted a year later, you use a sleeve/sock in your project...

Hello I am a DIYer and love your videos. I notice in all of the videos Ive watched you place the system within 4-6" of surface then sod over. I am concerned that during drought months my grass will die over the system. Is it OK to keep the system 10-12" under the grass?

How do you estimate how much stone you need?

It would be helpful if you set up the initial situation by telling us where the water is coming from, where it enters your system (I finally saw it at the 9:30 mark, seeing the large grate). But it would help if you point it out, so we know what you are doing. You spend too much time trashing the bad stuff (yes it's trash - but I don't need to be told 20x that it's trash. Yes you said it 20x. Great video though! Good stuff. I am having difficulty finding that blue and yellow pipe in Omaha or Lincoln NE. Obviously a superior product.

How come you don’t use a single 6” pipe? A 6” pipe hold mores volume of water vs. two 4” pipes? Is it because it’s what you have on hand? 4” pipe is roughly 0.65 gallons per foot where as a 6” holds 1.47 gallons per foot! I have been using nonwoven geotextile 4 mil fabric for the last 3-4 years. I have to cut mine down to size depending on trench depth and width. Your videos have helped me out and I refer many customers to view your videos to understand how and why I do my drainage systems the way I do.

@asusreviews

The question is why would you do that . The other question is what is the pipes stability like when multiple layers on on top of eachother. Probably not ideal. A dry well is a proven technology.

The stuff at Lowe’s sucks too!! I can crush it with one hand. Complete garbage.

I have a single 4 inch (or maybe 6) drain pipe that runs across thw back of my house, maybe 40 ft and then down the side to the cur, maybe 100 ft. There are 4 small catch drains with in the first 20 ft. Would adding a 2nd line after the first 40 ft or so help it drain faster and increase the flow? Hope this makes sense.
