    Just a heads up your chain setup is illegal in 2 ways. The bucket needs a seperate chain over it and you need 4 chains/binders one at each corner of machine. You probably know all of that but just in case.

    We're in Minnesota where the ground will freeze for about 5 months. The landscaper installed the underground PVC from the rain gutter downspout to where popup is on a low area of the lawn, to keep water away from the foundation of the house. Should some type of low-voltage heat tape be used to keep ice from freezing in the PVC pipe? If so, how and where is the heat tape installed? Thanks!

    Nice video. Something to consider if you're watching this before a DIY: Consider a soil barrier around the popup/gravel hole to stop soil from settling in and clogging the stones, and don't glue your popup on until after the SOD goes in. If you popup is below final grade, soil/grass will seal it up.

    The deck may crack and have problems in the future as the ground under it settles. Not sure if there is a "right way" of doing this... but you cant really hand compact dirt effectively. In the fiberglass pool industry, they have started using crushed stone for backfilling because it doesn't settle and compact after its placed over time like normal dirt does. Just a thought. Nice work btw.

    • @DorseyCo
      @DorseyCo 5 місяців тому

      For sure. The right way would be to pump is full of concrete I suppose. Or of course aggregate. Just trying to help this customer out. He was out of options. Thanks for the comment and advise for the future!

    • @DorseyCo
      @DorseyCo 7 місяців тому

      If you are just doing single downspouts I would do up to 2-3 3x4 downspouts. It really depends on the size of the roof/gutter set-up. Overkill is always a good route to take.

    • @DorseyCo

      If you can I always recommend schedule 40 for the PVC side of things. Its just so tough. But for your situation SDR 35 would be a great choice as well. I would get which ever one was cheaper.

      Soil separation fabric is only needed with perforated pipes, typically found on french drains where excess subsurface water is an issue. This system is correct - it’s taking surface sheet water and getting it away from the foundation.
