THANK YOU!!!! I was about to do a massive DIY drainage project at my house and I am so glad I came across your videos because I was fixing to install it holes facing up. I was literally like “this makes no sense why would the holes be toward the ground” but you did EXCELLENT job explaining everything.

Thank you! Most people either show their work or talk about their work. You took the time to do extra work to demonstrate the idea you are teaching. Thank you for taking the time and extra labor. Great video.

I love that you demonstrated why the holes face downward. Thank you! I would have done it wrong!

I love this video. A great hands-on experiment with real world applications. The narration and presentation is all professional that explains well of what is happening in real time. The concept is technically simple and ingenious, yet critical in channeling away water preventing water build-up and pooling. I think the best application for my own non-load bearing wall project is directly behind the concrete footer on a slope. Any rain water will contact the perforated drain pipe BEFORE the footer. And thus redirected out to safely drain. Thank you for the great video !!

I watched multiple videos and this is the ONLY one that made sense. thanks for the time it took to explain and set all that up. I'm actually in the middle of digging a trench to patch a Crack in my houses foundation.

thanks for the education.

Chuck, once again you have earned my admiration and respect. It’s obvious that you love what you do for a living, and your sincerity shows that you are a man who can be trusted. I followed your recommendations re: catch basins, and I am greatly pleased with the results. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

Chuck, your vids were my guide to doing this in 2013 when we put a French drain In, works flawlessly without fail in all weather. We used to have basically a permanent rice paddy along a fenceline, permanently dry as a bone now. Thanks for taking the time to do these!

Hi Chuck,
I learn a lot from YouTube videos, BUT yours are absolutely the best video presentations I have seen in any category. You are the BEST. Thank You!

The best video on slotted drain pipes. Thank you.

[peacelilly]

The easiest to follow YouTube tutorial. Best one yet.

This is an excellent video and finally makes sense of the whole thing.  French Drains, Weeping Tiles, Agricultural Tiles - this is the principle of how they work and what they are for.  Thanks so much!!!

Thanks a lot for your explanation and video. You saved my biggest headache in designing my roof-top-garden. May God bless you with all good things in life.

Fantastic demonstration!! Thanks! If I didn't see this vid, I would still be installing the the perf up.

This is a great demonstration. I have seen other "Professional" excavators put the holes down. I learned about clay field tiles from my dad. We dug ditches in our property and used field tiles to drain it. He had a lot of patience, at times. He taught me a lot.
