French Drain Man is here to guide you through the process, showcasing a real-life project that combines French drains and yard drains into one powerful system.

Tackling a Flood-Prone Yard

This video takes you to a Michigan backyard plagued by flooding. The flat terrain and a walkout basement created the perfect recipe for a drainage disaster. But instead of simply installing a traditional French drain, we're taking it up a notch with a combination system designed to handle both surface and subsurface water efficiently.

The French Drain Man Advantage: Simple, Effective, and Affordable

We believe that yard drainage shouldn't be a headache. That's why we've developed a system that's easy to install, even for DIY enthusiasts. Our innovative products and techniques allow you to achieve professional-grade results without breaking the bank.

Key Features of this DIY-Friendly System

Quad Pack: A four-pipe system with three perforated pipes for subsurface drainage (French drain) and one solid pipe for surface water (yard drain). This ensures maximum capacity and prevents clogging.

No-Glue, Slip-Fit Connections: Our catch basins and fittings snap together quickly and easily, saving you time and frustration.

4-Way Connect Catch Basins: These versatile basins allow for flexible pipe configurations and feature a generous sump to collect debris, reducing maintenance needs.

Knife-Cut Perforated Pipe: Allows for better water infiltration and less sediment buildup, enhancing drainage efficiency.

12x12 Turf Restrictor Plates: Prevent grass from growing over your catch basins, ensuring easy access for maintenance and cleaning.

Dude, you’re a badass. The fact that you specialize in continuous improvement in your systems is a testament to your passion, and expertise.

[Aviation_Professional]

Watching from Ft Myers Florida. I specifically requested my contractor to use your products. He watches the channel and had no issue with that at all. Praying for a good outcome as the drain in question is partially under a driveway slab. Appreciate the excellent content.

[RA-bgpe]

Perfect timing! It's 630A here in Colorado and time to ease into this Sunday with a nice cup of coffee and watch/learn from the best in the business.

[jameswebb]

You sir are a Master teacher. Very rare skill set. Bravo!!

[leemullican]

Another great install FDM! Can't wait to see it in action!

[machineofrage]

I wish you guys shipped to Canada, I'd use all your products for the French drain I need to build in my backyard.

[StormWaterDrainageSolutions]

Very awesome video, lots of good information in here! 🧠

[TonyMcCartney]

I love your 25’ French Drain kit (with option for adding 2nd pipe) for sale. Free Shipping! Will help a friend put in a small French Drain. I 27:27 also will purchase additional fabric for my retaining wall around my pool. Amazing work! Amazing products. There’s usually only a few that care and do things right! Thanks for sharing!

[Mr-French-Drain]

Excellent information as always. Love option A and option B as a way to lower the cost of the job. So I have a question and a suggestion. My question is how thick are you cutting the sod now that you are applying sand on top of the fabric? My suggestion is for the French Drain man to create a digital code book with install diagrams for your material that can be updated as needed.

[genevelis]

Thank you. Do you put gravel or sand on the top of the fabric?

[jaywetherington]

You do such an amazing job. I wish you were in Florida. Do you have any one that you can refer me to in Lakeland, Florida?

[gearhead-doxh]

Thanks for another great tutorial. Do you have any opinions on the effectiveness of installing leaf gutter guards in addition to your system
or is it not worth the trouble. I can't find any good info on the topic. I'm planning on installing your products in my yard here in Scarborough, Ontario soon 🇨🇦

[Androth]

Curious why you didn’t lay a liner and stone on that section further from the house where the men were reusing the dirt and compacting it. I thought you said not to use the dirt you took out in a previous video/short I saw.

[masgitz]

Sorry I think I missed it. Next to the house is the lower pipe knife cut and the top pipe solid?

[GniteGracy]

Are the double catch basins just to route more surface water through the system? For a yard drain/french drain combo can you just cap the end of a French drain line near the catch basin and have both yard/french drain lines empty into an outdoor sump basin?

[Spoderman]

About how long does it take for the freight shipping to CA? I just ordered a pallet of pipe and a bunch of other fittings and stuff. 😁

[ibdribbles]

Did you ever go back and get that video of the drain in action? I would be interested in seeing what happened

[ptg]

Pretty awesome. What about the rest of the neighbors ? They don't have this issue ?

[MagiKarp-jv]

Hi what do you recommend for buried downspout? I’m going to do this before concrete patio gets laid down approx. 35’ feet out from back of house

[rileycpo]

How did the yard drain?

I’ve lived in my home in Florida since ‘03, and my back yard turns into a swamp when we get super heavy downpours. There’s just no place for the water to go. And my garage which is in the back yard acts as a dam for water flowing away from the house. Adding to that I also have three leach fields that also add to the whole dilemma. I’m seriously considering your products to fix this issue.
