Best Underground Buried Downspout System - Easy DIY How To TUTORIAL

This underground roof runoff system was an update. We ran some new lines but we went ahead and we updated a lot of existing lines. We ran into all the different things that we see out in the field. If you only watch one underground buried downspout system video before you go ahead and DIY yours this would be the one.

oh man, the leaf blower is such a good tip. I've been trying to find where my drains go and that never cross my mind. thanks

So happy I found this page ! Just finished a diy 200ft retaining wall and French drain, getting round rock this week to finish the job. So happy I watched these videos so I don't have to replace everything in a few years ! Huge help 🙏

I sure wish you could make a trip to Kansas City and do my whole house! I cant find anyone in this area that does this type of work like you do. Thanks for the great videos

Now I finally know why one of my house's downspout-to-drain connections is crooked. I always wondered why. Thank you for explaining that. And I am adding FDM leaf filter + vent + clean-out combo item to all of my downspout-to-drain connections. Double thanks.

Great information thanks for sharing
Will be looking into sourcing the materials that you are using they seem to be exactly what im missing

Robert. I enjoyed the video. You provide great information. I have a backyard that slopes away from my house towards a green belt. I have 3 down spouts out back. 1 on each side of the house and one off my back patio porch. Was planning to install this type of system within the next few weeks. My back has a severe slope and wanted to know if I would still need to install a catch basin and just use a popup at the end. Am also planning to use a y connection on 2 of my downspouts that would connect to a popup.

Crew should have had eye protection when using the cement saw. Instructive video, thanks

Very good. Still doing my home work. Thinking before acting.🦇

This channel is great! Had a quick question. Just had a sump pump installed in my crawl and a new discharge line installed in my front lawn. The contractor only buried the discharge line 18inches deep.

We had a cold day here in the 20s and I noticed my pump was discharging from the frost discharge. Was this because the line froze? Should they have installed the line deeper than 18 inches, especially since frost depth in Michigan is 42 inches? Thanks!

Nice video. Thank you so much. I have a small home, not much space from the downspout to the in between home runoff area, which is rocks.
Should I just put rocks and let it end under the ground? Or have a downspout in The Rocks. In between the homes, there's not much space. I'm also putting in a sidewalk, so it needs to go underneath the sidewalk. And then up, but it's almost level, not much slope.

I have a 1.5 acre property (169 x 400).

The backyard does not drain well. The clay soil makes it very difficult for surface water to soak into the ground.

I was thinking of running three 3️⃣ six inch solid corrugated pipe with catch basins spaced 20’ apart. The separate three lines (East - West) would connect to a perpendicular output line.

The output line is very long. I was thinking of using .8” slope. 100’ would have 12” of downgrade.

I could have intermediate catch basins to manage the downgrade. I could also add a sump pump as well.

Please give me your feedback on the proposed project.

Thank you for this helpful video! Question: do you worry about the corrugated pipe crushing over time by people/ lawn mower walking on top?
