When to use a catch basin vs channel drain

We install a comprehensive drainage system on a new house purchase. We failed on installing our catch basin and it wasn't catching all the water coming off the drive. So we went back and added three segments of channel drain to correct this.

Excellent example of customer service in action!

Your videos are a excellent historical recollection for the property owner.

You always know what you're doing and you don't cut corners. I wish I could have an employer like you

Hey man, i have to tip my hat to you. I really appreciate your integrity as a business man and as a person for admitting your errors and correcting the problem. I have been learning from your videos and enjoy all your efforts. Keep up the good work.👍

I really like seeing the videos where you go back and fix an oversight or error.

It means a lot that you take accountability for these things.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did this job cost in total? I've been watching a lot of your videos and also thinking about calling someone local to do the work on my house.

Another great video Shawn. Like others, I like when you follow-up to show haw a system actually performs during a heavy rain.

I noticed that one of your team was shoveling gravel from the bed of the dump truck. They make small tailgate doors for dump truck which, when you raise the bed slightly and open the small door, gravel or pea coal can come through the door directly onto a conveyor or into a wheelbarrow. When I delivered coal, these small doors where absolute time back savers.

Good response. We all miss a few once in awhile!

good on you for following up. that's something contractors don't do now a days. they hit ignore and wait to get a text or VM.

Kudos to you for sticking around and getting it right. That is the difference between Pros and Schmos, who take the money and run. Even an expert like you cannot always predict where Mother Nature will take her bounty. You have to work with, not against. Jealous of all that rain. Of course, where I am we get most of our precip as snow. Love Colorado, what made you move?

I like your stripped down French Drain installations, open channel drains with gravel exposed... but if you (customer) wants turf over drain geotextile wrap is a must. Yes it will flow less but may be good enough for most applications....

[anthonyfindlay]

Hey Shawn that self loading high tip track loader would've been ideal for this project.

[nberardi]

"Send me some video of the channel drain working." *customer grabs flip phone...

Would a section of kerb alongside the driveway to redirect the water to the catch basin also work? Or would you not recommend that? I know the homeowner may not want a raised kerb tripping hazard though...

Great video as always Shawn.
