Chuck- thanks to you I completed my downspout burials ( may they Rest In Peace) last weekend. I have two that connect to a 50 foot run to the front yard. Had a heavy rain yesterday. I could not believe the amount of water they move ! My neighbor and I did his too so the lake between our houses is no more. Thanks for all the tips. Saved a couple of grand and got to play in the dirt!
Good golly Chuck this is the absolute best video I've ever seen in my whole life!! Really, as I just said this to my dear Joan as I was sitting here watching drainage videos and trying to get my drainage issues resolved due to other people not making things easy for me and my lack of knowledge/experience - ha! I now have more knowledge and I was at least somewhat on the right... wait for it... flow of how to get it done for success. Your video brought me that peace and success. It's Friday and almost 1 p.m. so I'm gonna have a cold one. Thank you and God bless! 🇨🇱🇺🇸
Glad to help
Chuck is the best dude ever. Thanks bro dog
Thanks to this channel I was able to correct a drainage issue in our new home. The previous owner had the drain pipe about 8 feet short of the sidewalk and the popup was under the grass about 4"! I found it dug my channel, went to Home Depot and got my 10' drain pipe and installed. Boom done. Big rain worked great! Thanks Apple Drains.
LoL! "If you like drainage videos". I mean... cmon who doesn't right? But like... I do like drainage videos. I wish i didn't, but Chuck... I really do.
Chuck you have excellent videos. Keep up the great work.
We like to put rock around the pop up emitter to prevent sod or grass encroaching over and preventing discharge.
So you don’t attach the pop up with screws? Is that so we can pull it out for maintenance more easily? Thanks for your channel.
Thank you
thank you , good job
How deep can a pop up be? My trench will be approx. 30 inches, is that too deep to install a pop-up at the end?
Chucks the best
Excellent!
How do I clean out that 90 degree? Can I simply remove the pop up itself or does that top that pops up come off?
Funny. I just bought my first house (after owning two condos) and saw I have two of these. One of them being broken so I had to order a replacement. I thought this thing was a cleanout for the drain and never realized it was to emit excess drainage.
Love the video. Thank you
Can roots grow into the little weep hole that drains the elbow?
What's a swail / swale? Can you do this in a sort of flat surface? Maybe dig down at a slight incline and then use the popup? Is this different than a french drain? Thanks!
What if the slope is more towards the house? if you run this out away from the home will it still work? Will I need to slope the run and have a taller pipe for the pop up? Part of the yard is slightly sloped to the home.
Hey Chuck- great video. What type of longboard are you riding now?
Thanks for sharing!
I have 3 downspouts with 4x3 rain gutter. I wanna connect all three downspout to 1 pop up emitter.
Is that ok?
yes
How to you attach it to schedule 40?
Hmmm, my house’s gutter drains are plumbed in 3” Sched 40 and the house is fully surrounded by concrete side walk and patio. I had to get yard around house regraded to create better water shed away from house so most of the long underground runs had to be cut about 10’ from house. I’m debating whether I should re-trence for long runs of PVC or use pop-ups, assuming they make them for 3” PVC… maybe there are adapters to allow fit to 3”??
hi if I dont tunnel out a curb and I use this, it will work? ITs too hard to core through the side walk and curb
On a level yard with no fall do tiu creat rhe fall in the trench? I went 40ft out. Depdt of trench was 6" deep at downspout, 8" at 10ft and 18" qt 30 ft on a level yard and i notice that rhe water sits in the pipe the full 30ft from inline catch basin to the pooup wi h is 18" u derground with a riser to reach grade at popup shoukd i have not worried about digging trench so deep with rhe 2% fall out to popup? Thabks for qll yiur videos
what if you dont have a swale, but a uniform downslope?
I love this but that connector that snaps in do you have a part number? I’m trying to find it here in a Canada at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
Chuck, the end of my drain system will be 12” below grade if I use a 1% slope. Can I still 90 up to an emitter?
Hey Chuck, the thumbnail has a typo in the word “install”. It’s showing as “intsall” right now.
Thanks! Fixed
I have been watching your videos. I am going to exhaust a downspout to a pipe, go under a sidewalk and out to yard. Probably going out 12’ or so. I want to end with a pop up that disperses the water into yard, away from house. Question is, I am going to have the pipe drop as it runs away from house and the end of the pipe will be deep. If I put a 90 degree elbow, the pop up won’t be out of the trench. Can you put a vertical piece on the 90, then attach the pop up to that to get it out of the trench
did you ever get an answer to this question? I have the same issue
Does the popup need to be connected directly to the drain line?
Or can you install the 99° elbow then add a vertical extension and then connect the pop-up?
Chuck: For a downspout drain used with 4" solid corrugated drain pipe in Charlotte, NC can I go with just a 6" deep trench with just 2 inches of soil / sod over the top assuming I have the adequate slope?
Hey Chuck, can a french drain only have pop up emitters only? (NO Discharge to a street nor storm drain)
All Drains need to discharge to daylight. That means they must end coming out above ground somewhere Whether it’s at the street, curb, sidewalk or into a swell. But they have to discharge to daylight
Will the corrugated pipe get smashed when someone walks on it since it's so close to the surface
That’s my question too
Hey chuck does it matter if I use a solid corrugated pipe or pvc for draining standing water in my yard
I just had a drain installed that empties into the ditch. The contractor put the discharge or the pipe about 6" or so under the grade of the ditch. Would a pop-up emitter work in this situation? I have used them before and they work great, but I am worried that having the water in the ditch flowing over them will cause issues. The contractor will be coming back and I am going to bring this up to them. Thanks
Does the pop up only work on corrugated and ez flow?
I need help. My pop up emitters are ending lower than ground level, because I needed to dig a slope. Now they are sitting in a pit because I don't know how to get them ground level. I can't raise them up, and I can't make them taller (I asked NDS if they make extensions). I have no idea how to do this. Can you give suggestions?
How did you fix this?
@@enriquejavier4700 Hi! So, I ended up trenching the downspouts out about 15 feet from the house. The incline, as I said, put the ends underground. You can spend the crazy amount of money they want to get pop up extenders to make it tall and then put the popup on that way, but what I did was dig a dry well. I tested for drainage and then lined with a geocloth that drained well. I put a layer of rinsed river rock down so the pipe laid on it like a bed. I put atrium grates on the ends of the pipes and then put more river rock on top of it. I need to landscape around the rockbeds now to make them look intentional, but I honestly prefer just having no pop ups in the middle of my yard. The water where I live is a LOT and it would just run off into the sidewalk which would cause bigger issues during a freeze. This was a bit more labor, but worth it to me. It works REALLY well!
Hey Chuck should water be sitting in the pop up drain emitter? I noticed water overflowing out of the down spout elbow so I checked the pop up drain emitter and it’s filled to the top with water. Should it always be sitting in there?
Pull off the pop up and drill a hole in the 90
I know there is a little drain hole at the bottom of the elbow, but is this still an okay idea to do in far north areas like MN?
Do these pop-up emitters work with sump pumps or is the pressure to great and damage the lid?
For sump pump use a 4” 90 and grate! Secure with set screw
@@appledrains Thanks. You should add a Patreon account to your channel so people can send to you some of the money they saved doing projects themselves with what they learned from your videos, in gratitude.
@@RandomDudeOne 😃
I will be running 4" pvc pipe from my gutter downspout to the road. Do you recommend a transition to corrugated pipe for the last 5 feet so that way it will slow down the water before it hits the pop up emitter at the road/storm drain? I don't want to lose my pop up emitter during heavy rains when there is a lot of water flow
So about an 8 inch hole would do? This is only about 6-7 inches high, why do people recommend 18 inch deep holes?
If my pop up is below and I need to raise it, what fittings do I need to do that? I needed to put my corrugated pipe deep to be able plant grass over it (dug 10-12” deep for 4” pipe)
Just taper the end of your drain so that it comes closer to the surface. Sod it will go over your pipe. No problem
Can you use a pop up valve even if my pipe is going to be 4 feet deep
Hi Joe, Well, you could as long as the finish grade discharge is lower than where you’ve collected the water. But I would not recommend it.
Hello Chuck, Thanks for the videos and spending a lot of time to make these for us. They're amazing! With this being said, I am running schedule 4" 40 PVC 12 feet long on 1% slope 12 inches deep for my downspouts on my 1965 bungalow. I would like to know if I can run that directly to a pop-up or a drain? I live in Toronto Canada and of course we have nasty winters so frost thaw cycles. I'm concerned about standing water in the pipe. In your video the examples seem to only work with thin wall pipe, not schedule 40 as you mentioned. So just wondering what to do in this particular case as that's what I'm using in my (schedule 40) application here. Somteimes the slot that's being used in the elbow can clog up. Need your expertise on what you think I should use? Also, is there an adaptop that will fit onto the schedule 40 PVC ? Kindest regards, Stephen
Did you ever find an answer? I am currently planning to set something like this up but I am unsure how to connect the emmiter to a pipe that is buried 12in underground.
@@christophermalecki9772 I’ve read you can use schedule 40 with adapters to act as a riser pipe from the elbow up to the emitter. I’m going to install it that way myself.
