how long did take to dig the hole thanks

The best solution for the overflow erosion is to...Dig a trench from the drywell along the line of erosion about 20'. Go down about 8"-14". Start out at the dry well...Go down about 8". Tap into one of the dry well holes ...The trench should have a 1" drop for each 10'. So 20' would be a 2"drop at end of 20'. Use solid weeping lines with punched holes...Wrap trench with non woven drainage fabric...add about 2" gravel. 2" drainage rock ...then lay pipe...put a cap on end of 20 ' section..Add gravel to ground surface...Pull fabric over the top of gravel...Place soil and seed ..The excess water from drywell will now be able to naturally leach into the area surrounding the 20' length...Then in the future you can always extend it..The drywell holds the water...The french drain ( leach lines) distribute the water evenly

As big a yard as they have...A leach system would work out better...Have a solid line running from the house...Then use solid leach line and have a distribution box and french drain leach lines in a gravel base ... Renting a trencher could do that in less than 5 hours...

Great job 👍. Suggestion. Put a screw in side of pop up to hold it onto the inlet pipe ..Also because you have clay. You can rent a post hole auger and drill a deeper hole down the center of the dry well...That will allow water to seep deeper... Usually I will drill a 4' hole in the center of the dug out dry well hole and fill the auger hole with gravel... Your dad is lucky to have you around to help out. Great job 👍

Im facing an install of at least one of these and I'm a bit older than these folks and I'm really not looking forward to all of the digging. However, I am motivated to solve a problem.

Hi, how much water would you say this system is capable of collecting? Could it collect enough to manage a large puddle of water (like 7 foot radius). Thanks

This video has good vibes! No kidding! We did the hike on July 4, 2020. One for the books for sure. Great job!

You have to clean out that drain pipe. It’s full of dirt and shingle granules. Otherwise good job! How are you guys liking the second flo well?

Quick question…what is ideal tape to use on the filter fabric? I thought that some may break down after so many years and thought I might need speed tape lol

I've seen where bottom of barrel should be solid,drain holes should only be on sides,and use some kind of weep fabric over top and around outside of barrel,to keep sediment out,I'm using a plastic 55 gallon barrel

I like using PVC so it doesn't clog,also a clean out is always a good idea

Those little wells are a waste of time n labor n money they get overwhelmed to easy on small rains then your left with a mini swamp area we end up switching them to sump pump systems to day light all the time🤦🏽‍♂️⛈🔬

We stuck 2 of them together it was a massive failure caused a giant sinkhole

originally watched because i have a similar issue and was contemplating this project but stayed cuz you guys are the cutest. God bless you!

Hi there ... I love your fun teamwork approach. We’re considering this option and just started looking at drywall info/DIY. I hope this doesn’t sound like a ridiculous question: I’m curious to know the reason for not just filling the entire hole with gravel. Is it that it would cost a lot more for gravel than buying the container? I was thinking a smaller hole would suffice too. The huge hole you had to dig was to fit the container. Thanks!

Beautiful, i am in the process of doing this. I'm waiting for the dry well tub to arrive! I will follow your way, looks good. How is it holding up??

How many bags of stone did you use in total?

Thanks for sharing; I am considering putting in a dry well. When the dry well is overwhelmed; did water backup to the downspouts or did water just overflow from the dry well?

Perfect!,

You used perforated pipe, which will let water leak out before getting to the well. How did that workout?

So far I think you’re both crazy.. in a good way :) Hbd

seems like a good gust of wind and u loose that cap on top.

Nice video guys

If you need to install another dry well, rent a hydraulic post hole digger, use it to break-up the clay, digging is much easier that way.

What’s the song that starts at 4:40?? Thanks and good job

Nice video 👌👍

Good job! I like the bonus footage at the end!😉

This is another homeowner who clearly doesn't know how to install a Dry Well properly, and I'll explain why. First, the hole for any Dry Well should be at least 2 to 3 times the diameter of the Dry Well itself, and this hole is clearly not. Second, the amount of crushed stone or gravel these people used is grossly inadequate for proper drainage. Again, this Dry Well requires 2 to 3 times the amount of crushed stone or clean washed gravel for proper drainage, and that's not what these people did. Third, the soil conditions need to be conducive to leaching, which does not appear to be the case... looks like clay to me, which does not absorb water. By the way, that's why the hole still had standing water on the second day. Fourth, it's the wrong type of pipe, and shopping at the local "big box store" is not where the professionals purchase the materials for this kind of a project. Fifth, the Filter Fabric or Landscaping Material should only be installed over the top of the crushed stone, not around the perimeter of the hole, because it will plug up with silt and prevent the water from dissipating. Lastly, depending on the state, city, town, and/or county you live in, specific environmental rules and regulations need to be followed, which very often require permits and inspections by local code enforcement officials. To be clear, different parts of the country have different rules and regulations, so it's very important to find out what is required by law or local codes and ordinances in your area, before you attempt this type of project. I'm an experienced Septic & Sewer Professional, and in my state, not just anyone can embark on the installation of a Dry Well without proper authority or approval. I suggest you consult with a Licensed Soil Scientist or Professional Engineer to make sure you don't violate any of the local rules and regulations in your city, town, or county.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your videos. You deserve more views. Do you know of smzeus . c o m!? You could use it to help increase your subscribers!!!

I was under the impression that you needed a hole 4’ wide and 4’ deep. You also are suppose to put drainage fabric in the hole first when a base of drainage stone(1”-2” dia) then add about a foot of stone around the dry well. You have clay and two pipes. A strong rain will easily fill it and overflow it. It is possible a light to moderate rain will also. What are the sources draining into the well? One might not be enough. Also, are you deep enough to handle winter freezing temps? If it gets cold by you, that can freeze up at that depth. Use the NDS calculators and find out what you really need and how to do it right. In clay, that will be a guarantee redo

Shouldn't you knock out the 1" holes around the sides of the Flo Well to increase the drainage?

Such a Beautiful vlog

I’m from Staunton and I was working 2019 festival and wasn’t able to go, but my aunt is the 2nd manager at the Augusta health thrift shop . I will be trying to go this year

Nice music...

How are you enjoying the gimbal. I might get one

Guys this is so good.

Very cute, I am filming our swan family on the lake as well. They are growing so fast, it's unbelievable.

Awesome guys there's alot of pemi videos out there but really enjoyed yours!!! I have yet to do the pemi loop but will be this spring and cant wait.. Happy hiking!!
