Chuck is the best!!! solved my 10 year issue by watching this that no other service could figure out.

Chuck, thank you for explaining and showing how we, as uneducated lay people, make common mistakes and how to fix them! Your video is excellent!

[theblckdg]

great video. I'm actually amazed that some people don't use the catch basins in drainage systems. It's like they were either lazy, cut corners or just didn't know. I learned about drainage systems the hard way when I lived in an Apartment. It took my apartment complex 1-2 years to finally fully resolve the issue of gutters flooding my patio during torrential rain events. The 2nd contract company they sent out, the actual owner stopped by to talk to me to get an idea of what was happening - and he explained everything to me. That is where I learned. :)

We have a ton of clay in the ground in NJ so it doesn't drain super well, and we end up getting tons of muddy clay water in the house and the French drain in the basement gets clogged, so I've been looking into installing a catch basin and French drain on the side of the house where water collects the most

Love your show. Been watching your stuff for a very long time. Thank you.

The most effective French drain is not covered with soil or grass. Instead, the trench is 100% filled with small rocks, all the way to the surface. Although this may not be as visibly pleasing, it works much better. And you don't need any catch basins.

Sir, thank you for your public knowledge. I work for Lowe's and I can't tell you how many times I watched frustrated customers try to tie in a sump pump to corrugated pipe. I wish there was a 4 piece solution and not a thousand different ways to do one thing, good or not. Personally, I have a sump that I'd like to distribute drainage underground. My yard is about as short as I am. For those townhouse subscribers (I'm in Alexandria, VA) what would be your best solution. BTW, you are welcome to come to my home or my neighbor's homes to demonstrate the system and film it. I'm a 25 year resident. Open invitation...

My problem is the grate/cover of my catch basin constantly gets covered with debri during heavy rains defeating the purpose of draining the pooling runoff.

thanks brother. i built my 5th french drain on my property a week ago. i still flood during rain, and this video nailed it. im buying a drain box soon. i use corregated pipe now, but i may go to 2" smooth, i heard its better.

[bradonlineshopping]

Chuck you and all your videos are awesome. This DIYer appreciates you so much!!!

[Thackula]

Great video, a lot of useful info for an upcoming project on my property.

I have a low spot in my yard and want to install this with a pop up emiter at the other end of my drainage pipe near my privacy fence. Would that work well?

Chuck - i love watching ur videos - u explain it all completely - amazing what can be done with pipes and glue - gonna redo my fire pit this year def gonna use ur knowledge thx

Hey Chuck! Been watching for a while. Thanks for the great channel. I'm installing a 10 ft open drain with gravel near my pool equipment because of flooding. I'm using 4" thin wall perf pipe and 2 6" spee-d catch basins. I'm testing for leaks now and noticing water at the pipe/basin connection. The fit seems to get loose if I reattach the pipe several times. I saw a video from NDS recommending to use silicon to make the pipe/drain connection water tight. What is your recommendation for getting a tight fit?

[martinmarsola]

Thank you for the instructive video. Enjoy the weekend.

[creedrocknroll]

What about sediment that comes from the groundwater into the catch basin filling in the French drain holes and clogging the French drain, I didn't see you reference a way to avoid that, would have filter over the catch basin make sense in this case?

[timurakin]

Thanks for another great video. Very educational👏👏👏

"I'm playful with it, yeah basically" NF with some moves on the steps. That was fun!

[TruthInspector]

But at what point are you putting catch basin?
