- Best description of French Drain placement. Comparing Franchise Box Systems to OUR SYSTEM. Every homeowner should see this video before hiring a contractor to install drainage in the basement. FACTS NOT OPINIONS!
You are so correct on everything you said.
Footings are NEVER to chipped out or messed with.
Water almost always percolates up from under the slab, so the lower the drain the better.
Nice work sir. Definitely worth doing a this correctly the first and only time if basement water is a problem.
You earned a new sub. 👍
Couple questions....the 4" drain at the end of video wasn't the ADS corrugated shown at beginning of video. Why different? Also, how thick is the new concrete being poured? It looks less than 4" thick. Also, how many clean out ports do you install? Is it one per wall or just one total? How would you access that port if that basement were finished & had expensive flooring put down? Thanks.
@@aj12271 I have the same question too. I recently got couple of quotes and both uses two different typing. Wondering which is better.
I just watched their video on the installation and you're exactly correct. Everything you described and explained makes a ton more sense. Nice work! People like you are greatly appreciated in today's world of people out for the fast buck. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right and doing it right the first time.

I am in the process of getting quotes, there is a ton of these “franchise” guys as you call them. My basement is very small, all the quotes are insanely expensive so far and none have this big trench with 4” pipe which is clearly the industry standard sold at lowes and home depot in giant rolls. I want a real trench with real pipes going into a sump pit- like a normal house should have! I will keep getting quotes until I find a good contractor! I reached out to your company today as well, thanks for putting these videos up!
Keep getting quotes until someone will do it right
Great video, thanks. I love the cigarette butt in the cutaway shot at the end!
Nice to see someone else also doing them right to!
GREAT video brother.
Thanks for informing people I just had mine done here in Cleveland area they put the stuff your using . Maybe 15 inches from footing
How do you take care off the water that comes in through the cold joint if drainage is so low?
Nice Job and Great Quality Work ! I Totally Understand . You have Honest Work Ethics my Friend !
Thanks for the knowledge brother...your a good man.
Thank you
@@premierbasementwaterproofi9106 Hello, would you recommend using the regular ADS piping showed in the beginning of the video or the PVC piping you showed at the end of the video? Im trying to get some quotes and wondering which type of piping is better
@@shamim23 any 4" pipe on the side of the footing will do fine.
I live in Michigan so wouldn't be able to use your company. I am very interested in the specs for your work (how deep you dig etc etc).
Could I call you and ask questions?
Also, approximately how much per linear foot do you charge in Mass?
Thanks so much!
Would be cool to see your system in action .
I wish I could fly you to Indianapolis, Im so frustrated I'm a first time home buyer and I'm already have flooding only one time for now with the heavy rain we had ..I rather for it tho be done how you are doing and instead of that box system...I going to keep looking and keep my fingers crossed and hope it doesn't flood again... thank you for the well explain video
I need to find people like you in Maryland
If there is a iron orche would you use pvc? We’re in the possession of accepting a bid - had 5 and all had their own opinion of this.
he call's it for what is ... thank you sir
I can't seem to get a straight answer. Does pitch matter at all in this situation?
Hey man, thanks for your videos. A question I have, I noticed in your videos that you use the blue corrugated in some and the white pvc in others. Do you have a preference? Would you suggest one over the other? Also, as far as placement of the pipe, I’ve seen videos where they suggest keeping the pipe low in the ditch, some with even no stone below it just fabric. I guess to avoid water pooling beneath the pipe. I see yours are a little closer to the top. Just wondering your opinion on that. Again, thanks a lot. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thank you so much for this video I thought this was the way to go , I have to get my basement done and it did not make sense with that box system to me at all the way to go is the 4 inch pipe .
Absolutely. Glad you agree
@@premierbasementwaterproofi9106 Hello my friend.....I would be interested in your services.....but I have one snafu. Your system looks great, but is very invasive in a basement apartment I have. My question is, do you guys have a system to waterproof OUTSIDE to avoid digging up inside? Can you do the same system on the exterior versus interior?
@@scarlodonnell3631 yes, we basically do the same thing on the outside as we do on the inside. We excavate to the bottom of the footing and install a drain. Instead of pumping the water we gravity drain to daylight. So you need to have some drop in grade to make it work.
@@premierbasementwaterproofi9106 Do you service Long Island? If not, can you recommend a good company that does the same work you do out here?
@@scarlodonnell3631 we do not. Sorry. And I don't do referrals. Too many scabs out there. Best of luck
Very informational video! Is this similar to what the multi-step system is that Everdry does? I'm getting the multi-step system done to our home. Thank you for the video!
Never heard of them
Best I’ve seen - a lot of work but done right
If you start out with the stone and pipe at the bottom of the footing and put a pitch on it to the sump pit you will end up below the footing. Is this correct and is it ok to be below the footing cause you said you don't want to be below the footing? Thanks for the viedos and any advise very much appreciate it!
You are hired
I like the width of the trench but I think he should have struck a line and wet sawed the line cutting into the cement perhaps a inch or so then went back and jack hammered the cement making for a straight line all the way around the basement. Does that make sense ? Also the plastic that lays on the pipe and over to the wall looks kind of cheap. Does not look heavy gauge like some products I have seen on the market. I think a more ridged solid piece of plastic bridging across would be better . I think there is one out there called Dimond plate or something like that ,which looks very firm and solid .
@@gregoryp9217 saw cutting looks better upon finish, but leads to cracking. The vapor barrier we use is probably the highest grade polyethylene on the market. It's true 20 mill cord reinforced. You're lucky to get 12 with most companies. You couldn't rip that poly if you tried.
I'm not doubting this system works but his is a legitimate question. The water will run along the bottom of the ditch, it will only reach the pipe if there is a lot of water, it won't wait to run until it reaches the pipe. Will this cause erosion?
The pump will determine when it goes. If some correctly, it's perfect
Good info,👍

I wish you guys were in NY!
Do you ever do exterior waterproofing???
Which pipe is best to use corrugated or 3 or 4 in perforated?
How much does a job like this cost
You forgot to mention weep holes if it’s a block foundation
Wish you were in NJ 🤦🏻♂️
where can i get this drain pipe from?
Do you guys do work in Maine? No one does these here I’ve been looking everywhere.
What part of Maine?
Can you comment on why you guys use 4” corrugated rather than the hole PVC with holes pointed down?
That pipe takes more water than traditional ADS smooth. That isn't ordinary corrugated pipe. We still use regular 4" in certain situations. High Iron content etc. Both pipes do the job.
Thanks for the reply. We have a 1910 House, two areas get mildly wet and I want to waterproof. Was thinking of taking on the job myself after seeing about 100 tutorial videos on UA-cam. I keep hearing different opinions about PVC vs corrugated and can’t decide. Also is the standard plumbing pitch of 1/8” per foot apply? Or can it be level across the whole thing? To me having it graded seems less important than just below the top of the footer. If it’s corrugated in any way, I don’t see how pitch helps.
@@brianorr4919 you should always have a little pitch on your pipe. You don't want trap water throwing constant humidity into the air. Doesn't have to be much, be absolutely should pitch.
Or why the pipe is at the too of the footing instead of near the bottom.
OK. How did you get your excavator into the basement to do the trenching? 😊
Hilti Jackhammers and 5 gallon buckets
@@premierbasementwaterproofi9106 wouldn't it have been better to use the backhoe to dig around the house down to the footing then put 4" drain pipe in clear stone and waterproof the foundation from the outside?
@@trevorritchie2575 if I can get to daylight, for another 30k No Problem. It's 10k just to remove and replace the AC units.
How much cost for 100 linear foot done the right way?
How much does a new car cost?
Where can I order that drain tile?
It's not available online. Comes from a distributor. 2000' minimum. The shipping gets crazy.
French Drain Man. They have their own channel and you can order pipe and other drain items. They have a website and all.
@@woolybully4902 But are crazy expensive for shipping - which makes it not worth it unless you're in their area...unfortunately (ie. shipping the blue corrugated pipe from the video is a few hundred EXTRA depending on your location)
How deep do you go?
We set the pipe beside the bottom of the footing
If anyone can recommend someone that does remotely close to this type of work in Pittsburgh area please let me know.
I don't know anyone in that area to recommend.
