French Drain Man, you are a freakin' genius. Not because your work (and workers) is the best, but your explanation to the diy-er is understandable. Completely. (Helpful hint to the diy-er who just discovered this channel: you need to watch a few hours of his vids to understand the terms and new words that you may have never heard or used before. Like learning a foreign language.)

I learned so much in just a few hours of watching your videos.

Nice explanation, best I've seen, thank you for the ideas for draining away from my 1900 vintage foundation in Maryland.

[terryelrod]

Great info! Thanks for the effort to make things easier and cheaper shipping.

Oh man what a relief that must be for you and your family!!

Does every house in Michigan have a storm drain on their property? Would be nice if we had something like this to make it easy for us. We’re not even allowed to bring water to the street into sewers.

Dude! I'm dizzy from that crazy moving camera! Thanks for the info, though. Really interesting.

[DJLaFontsee]

What is the purpose of the D box? Haven't heard that explained yet. Thanks for all the info!

Aren't you going to lose a lot of water velocity hitting that hard 90 degree fitting (versus a sweeping 90) ?

Do you screw in the end spout adapter to the corrugated pipe? Do you need a wye adapter for every downspout if you leave in the south (SC) with no nearby trees? Looking for some feedback after watching many of your videos and others I am curious to know what you prefer.

[kennethmclean]

Is that knife slit flex pipe the same for downspout run off as the French drain/weeping tile that goes into bsmt sump pump?

[pjkobes]

How do you go about filtering the gutters/downspouts? Won't this clog after Fall and into winter...then causing heaving if not cleaned out numerous times?

[JohnMcGing]

I just have a question regarding winter up north.. If you have a gutter drain line that ends up under a few feet of snow and you have a freeze, thaw cycle on the house, putting melt water into the gutters, but frozen ground and covered emitter, what happens? When my street is plowed, my front yard gets a bot of push snow and clearing my driveway ends up putting most of it in blown snow that stays a long time. In my area, can't let water directly out on street, and there are no storm drains either, so the concern is for what happens to the system in the winter, up north, under snow but with water.

Hello, how deep these French drain need to be? Thank you

[paulflogeras]

I love your videos and have learned alot. I know you stand by the baughman products. I live in eastern Canada where I see plenty of frost so I like the idea of no joints and using one full run of corrugated pipe. If I dont have access to baughman (yes I know you sell online but it exceeds my budget) would you still recommend using corrugated even if I purchase from a big box store. I have found a thicker version compared to the real thin wall stuff you referenced in this video. Thanks so much, appreciate your feedback

[k.scottphillips]

I have a question- I have poured concrete sidewalks at my house- how can I run the pipes under them? Do I need to rent a machine or is there a tool or attachment that I can buy that will core the dirt under them to run the pipe?

[peteman]

Will the pop-up still emit water with a slow rain or drizzle? With a 2 to 4" drop from the top of my house to my sidewalk should be enough slope to force the water out?

[zvijer]

How deep should the downspout go into the plastic adapter?

[diannapoe]

Great video! Wish the guy operating the concrete saw was wearing some goggles ;)
