Here is a quick video demonstrating how I install PVC gutter drainage systems. Let me know if you have any questions and please leave a comment!
No rocks! Wish I lived in your part of the country. Everytime I put a shovel to ground, I'm hitting river rock :)
Blessed to be where we are with these soil conditions!
I need to install a french drain but have no place to terminate it drain it too. What should i do?
Maybe install a lift station?
I have the same exact pipe as you. How do you get the pipe to slide into the other pipe all the way really hard
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.
Roger that brother, hell at least I am chaining it down! I see so much without any restraint.
@@DorseyCo Omg that's horrible. I would never risk the massive fines.
Thanks for mentioning the brakes at the end! Not discussed much but super important!
Thank you brother
How much this one costed you out the door?
$7500 on marketplace lol. The good times…
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!
Anybody know how much a project like this cost?
Shouldn't you drill a couple of leech holes at the end of the 90 degree pop up and have it sit on some small rocks ?
What coupling/attachment do you guys recommend for a standard rectangular gutter spout? I really like this 4 inch round look but unfortunately, unfortunately I don’t have a round downspout.
Where can I get the green pipe? Menards has like 4’ only..
Fantastic tutorial, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thanks, dude. This was helpful. Bought my materials today; using a y with a cleanout, but otherwise following your lead.
Great to hear!
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.
Thank you brother!
why do they call it a French drain
No freegan idea
Exactly what I needed to see for my own project......thanks for a well done coverage of this subject.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m not sire if you have seen them but check out the stake pocket d ring adaptors. You can put a d ring in every stake pocket if you want.
I have! Thank you so much boss
Had a Diamond bumper pull trailer but traded it in for gooseneck. Day and night from bumer to bed mount
Yeah I need to move to the gooseneck. Way better setup
You could replace the all items to include the clean out catch if you used a 4 in “y” at the drain spout. Man that does look pretty good job.
Thank you sir!
Great job! I did this for my sump pump, to a natural drainage point. For the downspouts I used 4” corrugated polyethylene. New subdivision, new trees, this was 20 years ago. I might have to update because the trees are getting there, but not yet.
Trees take time it’s the shrubs that get it quick if you have any standing water! Thanks
may seem basic, BUT your tool and supply list is a great start to your video. Thanks!
Thank you!
French drain man is the only person you should be watching folks
lol, get a life bro
Gate city foundation is probably the best with underground drainage systems using PVC, but this is a great DIY video for a homeowner who wants to do one downspout.
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.
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!
Can you install a catch basin on the perforated drain tile?
You can, but I do not recommend it.
How do you install them if you have a little negative slope?
Bury them deeper until you pass that negative slope. Or do not do it at all.
Did you use a connector between each length of pipe instead of fusing them with pvc glue?
Yep PVC glue!
Without drain holes in that run of pvc will always have standing water in the last 15 feet 😮
No, with good slope you might have a few feet of water, we did drill holes you just need to check out the whole video!
How did you connect the green pipe to the schedule 40?
PVC glue
Rip offs is what i concern myself with here where i am...these guys honestly dnt know half of what you just explained. Great video,very informative
Thank you boss, means a lot!
suddenly wish my yard was a sandbox
I hear that!
Go with a tilt if you can swing it. You will never buy a ramp trailer again
Damn right lol🙂
Yeah, maybe the next one for sure bro.
Great Video!!! I'm looking at connecting two 2x3 and one 3x4 downspouts to a 4" PVC pipe. I live in Westchester county (just north of NYC). Is the 4" big enough or should I go to a 5" PVC pipe? Thanks, Paul
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.
How deep does this pipe need to be?
Depends on the situation. down south we will go a minimum of 6-8". Obviously we do not have a freeze/thaw.
Thank you! Landscapers just fight with me in how to do this, so I'm attempting to do it by myself. Backyard is a pond: clay soil, bottom of watershed from a 16 acre hillside pasture. Upstate NY. March snow melt generates muddy madness every year, getting worse.
Sounds great!
Will a zero turn hurt the pop up if ran over?
Sometimes it happens. $15 to replace them. Usually no if they are installed at the right grade.
great video new subscriber
Awesome thank you!
So this is what I am doing this week or next week
Awesome! Good luck!
When can you do one w drain to curb.
Working on new content now!
PVC Schedule 40 vs. PVC DWV pipe for underground gutter drain with 4-8" of gravel (flower beds) but no vehicle traffic (only foot)? Thanks for posting!
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.
@@DorseyCo Thanks!
Excellent explanation, thanks for sharing
You are welcome!
mate, how many inches wide from wheel ends ? So as i understood the size of the bed is 80 inches?
I believe it is 7ft
Easy installation of a maintenance nightmare 😂
You have no idea what you are talking about. Thanks for the click and watch time!
How come you didn't use any fabric for around the rock and pipe?
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.

Nice soft soil
So nice
I’m prepping to do the same thing with sdr 35 pipe. It’s easy material to get for me. Thanks for making videos like this for us white sneaker wearing middle aged dads lol 👊
No problem 👍Thanks and good luck!
Great video and perfect explanation. I’ve been looking everywhere on UA-cam for some tips on how to install, dig and where to put stone and I just want to say thank you!!! Time to get started.
Great to hear! You are welcome! good luck!
You can get a dead straight line with a piece of string between two sticks right on the ground, and spray over it with the turf spray paint sold at Home Depot. Did it this week and it works so much better than eyeballing.
100% Setting up a string is the best way to do it. thanks
Very nice job. Will that PVC 6 inch to 4 inch reducer that is exposed to daylight will that last at least 10 years or will that get brittle and break within 5 years??? Would double wall corrugated pipe be better for locations that have 10 inches of frost.
Thank you! I think you will get discoloration with direct sunlight. This seems to be shaded well so it should have a very long lifespan for the customer. I would check out the french drain man on UA-cam for drainage in an area that has a freeze and thaw period.
Excellent video! 🙏 Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is that SDR 35 pipe? Great job and thanks
Yes, it is Thanks!
