Yea I miss the old videos but don't mind the newer ones either. For culvert and drainage vids check out gates city foundation drainage on UA-cam, good editing and doesn't make you wait to see the fixes working in action.
@@327JohnnySS yes thanks!. It has been my go-to channel for a few years now and have watched them all at least once. Nostalgia and information searches for me are ‘AC culvert’, ‘AC driveway’, ‘AC gravel’.
That’s actually amazing that the water built up through the box and flowed all the way down the conduit and pole. I love these videos of smaller jobs too
I think the pole was further down the hill and with the conduit broke in that box with water coming in, the water just filled the conduit up to where it was near level then ran out of it
I had that experience a while back. Water regularly flooded a ground box like that but, instead of just entering the conduit, water got inside the cable insulation. The power company had to replace about half a mile of buried cable. We were without power for a week.
This has that classic AC feel. Not that there is anything wrong with the new videos, I enjoy them just as much or more. But this small job does feel like a nice throw back.
I have been doing electrical for over 30 years and that ice sculpture on the conduit is a new one for me. Albeit all of my work has been on the flat plains of midwest. Great video.
I wanted to let you know things I absolutely LOVE about your channel. No stupid music, no loud stupid intro graphics, no shilling for VPN or gaming companies I will NEVER touch, and no shilling for hello fresh. everything is just simple.
Great video, I miss this types of videos where us that don't have some of the big equipment you have, can watch and learn something or do the same type of jobs ourselves 😉
@@mrmrsd224 Well yeah, he accomplished getting proper drainage installed and redirected, bedded the drainage line and grade adequately, and cleaned it up for re-naturalization. Job well done with no loss.
Duct seal will seal the conduit around the wire to prevent water ingress. Duct seal should also be used at the top of the riser pipe on the pole; it is actually required per NYSEG standard installation manual. Been an electrician in NY for decades and while a water tight installation is not always feasible in every condition it should always be the goal. Water can cause issues down the road, despite the wire itself being resistive to water and chemical ingress, water freeze and thaw, especially in NY can lead to wire/insulation damage and even breakage.
Andrew is the neighbor we all wish we had!! Crazy smart, very generous and always able to make it happen!! Glad you have the following you do... well deserved my friend!!
Hey Andrew, in my experience with stopping water from getting into conduits with cable. We stuff a light weight rag around the cable and mix some hydraulic cement and cap the duct. That's the method for manholes that fill with water and it stops leaking into building basements and conduit across bridges. Seem like that would apply to your situation as well. Thanks again for another entertaining video.
You know, you never cease to amaze me Andrew. You are most definitely a great role model for the next generation of young men. Just your work ethic alone says so much about you. Wow, is all I can say to you young man, and again outstanding job!!! ❤️
Your comment here is the Secret to the success of Andrew's videos, that's Andrews formula. Andrew has other non-published videos on his channel without that formula - See his channel page and look for the ***B-Listed*** videos.
You are a very talented man, and I always enjoy the videos. I have one suggestion for you when it comes to drainage and aggregate used in that application. That rock you were installing over the pipe has angular edges, which during installation and compaction lock together. Ideally, you would use a gravel that is round. The grave will always remain permeable. Just an observation and maybe something to think about in the future. Keep doing what you do, Andrew. It's a breath of fresh air to see there are young men in this generation who are self-motivated and don't stop working.
Glad you used the landscape fabric to keep the dirt out of the clean stone. Have seen french drains fail because people didn't use it and the stone got clogged up with dirt.
Took me a minute to figure wtf was going on here but I now I see it. That's a lot of water to be traveling down stream and then UP the service riser. I solve issues liken this often and I've never seen one quite this bad. Good work Andrew and rock on!
Dig a hole, it fills with woddder and the dogs are right in there splashing about....lol. This is the good stuff, Andrew maintaining his properties. There will be a few folk who are out NOW checking their power conduit does not have the same problem....lol. You always said you were going to extend and close in the shelter at Camarata Castle, to provide protection for all your stuff.
What a better way to start the work day, than a cup of coffee and a Andrew Camarata inspirational video of how to execute a job well done and approve by Lab inspectors.
A talented guy with all the right tools and he still almost took out the rear light assembly on the truck loading the rock blaster. He didn't have to fix one thing during this project.
You do beautiful work. I’ve been watching your videos for sometime had never left a comment before. Simple problem, simple, but very effective solution. You didn’t make it more complicated than it needed to be excellent! I’m an 80 year old guy that’s done that’s going to work all my life and did good quality work as well. I’m proud of the way you work, I envy you your youth oldbigbob.
You've got balls digging in water with that hot service entrance. I know, because I've got big balls from digging out my 100 yards of buried live cable to replace with new cable in a conduit. Part of my dig had to use a hand shovel that could have pierced the live cable as I stood in muddy water. But that was when I was young and stupid. Now I'm old (79) and less stupid!
Great job, you always fix them right. I don't miss chasing water leaks to finally find it a mile away. They always follow the electrical conduits for some reason. I chased a leak for 6 months trying to find the source. Finally found it. A homeowner had a leak on their in ground pool. It was my water but not my problem after that point.
18:15 That is exactly what you should do. Drill drain holes in the conduit before you install it. Also dig a hole and fill it with gravel so the conduit drain holes work. The junction boxes should be installed over a hole filled with gravel, and the conduits sealed with Duct Seal.
All electrical conduits get water inside, conduits shouldn't be sealed - it's impossible to keep water out over the years, even the moisture in the air will accumulate inside a conduit. That's the best that can be done, and it's written into the electrical code.
@@paulnieuwkamp8067 Think of it like a house. You want a seal on top to keep water from getting in, but you want a drain on the bottom so nothing can be trapped inside and build up.
In the Cleveland area they are actually pressure testing the pipe. ,,,,, I guess so the water that gets in there will stay there ???????? That's what the "W: in THWN stands for,,,Right?
New subscriber.. I love to see my home state.. beautiful thing about NY Upstate is the topography, and geology will never give away where you are within in the state. One suggestion about storing that impact breaker. Build a cradle for it so that it stands upright and the moil is set down to ensure it is fully up within the breaker. This will prolong the life of the seals. Too bad you are not down in NC, where I could use someone that does the job correctly. Too many French drains fail down here.
Dear Mr. Camarata. 👍👌👏 Very well done (video and work). A lot of effort but obviously well worth it (because water/moisture and electricity should always be well separated), I'm glad to see, that the lab inspectors are satisfied too. I simply love dogs 💚💚. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all 3 of you.
@@scottdowney4318 Besides the fact that that is direct burial primary cable. Some people have no clue yet still feel the need to comment and show the world.
I figured you would trench a bit further away from the end of your pipe to make sure the water continues to run downhill. That should work for a while until it clogs like they inevitably do. I always had better luck with schedule 40 pvc. The don't generally clog and they won't get crushed. It's always makes my night when I see a new video go live! :D
He has fractured the rock the length of the trench. Ground water will naturally flow through that. Then he added a layer of gravel that the ground water will also flow thru. I can't see how it would ever be a problem again.
@@tbirdracefan corrugated pipe always ends up clogged with leaves and dirt, especially if the end of the pipe is left open. either way, he shouldn't have to worry about that for several years at minimum
@@looniebinn I watch Gate City foundation and drainage too. He works for people that will not do their own maintenance. Andrew did an excellent job and wont have any more problems.
@@tbirdracefan Yep, I watch that channel too. It was a great channel drain, I just don't like the corrugated pipe. I did lawn service and prop maint for a while and tore out countless clogged and busted corrugated pipes.
You do a great job Andrew running equipment so there’s very little shovel work afterwards. That’s the key to a job well done….I can 1st hand appreciate your operator skills👍 I’d be honored to work behind you👍
Andrew, looking forward to your videos . When I get on UTube, I hope to find a new video from you and when I do I hope it’s a long one ;since I have watched almost all your videos 😝, if there’s no new ones I will rewatch the old ones.

I never thought I would look forward to watching these type of videos but I honestly think it’s you that makes them so interesting and of course the inspectors 🐕 you work with 😅❤. Thank you for sharing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️sincerely, Fan of the Castle maker.
Good job man, water can be very difficult to manage sometimes, quiet a healthy spring running there. Pro tip, (please excuse me if you already know) but stand your hydraulic breaker up until it's gone cold, maximises seal life. Take your pipes off first, and poke it in the ground.
Some years ago, I lived and worked in another country. We installed ducting through the town that had no main drainage, After every weekend new connections had been made to our ducts, and it was not for the intended purpose of the duct work. I leave it to you to think where the far end of the new 'duct' came out within the properties in question.
The highlight of this video was the utter disregard for the truck bed of that Ram 2500 while loading the hammer @ 4:30... I remember the "fixing" my new ram 2500 video. Glad to see someone using a truck as they were meant to be used. The drainage aspect was excellent also. That was a pretty good head pressure on that conduit, must've been a couple hundred foot run up to that box. Very good job
This looks like a ground water issue more then a conduit leak. With a pond near by and bedrock, water sits on top of the bedrock. That trench will work great. Andrew went the extra mile to hammer out a slope to ensure drainage. Problem solved. Great work.
I really miss the "I am making water go where I want it to go videos from the past" Some people may not want to watch repeats of the same sort of jobs, but the old jobs in the woods and repairs are what really made your channel take off.
On Maine Cabin Masters, a cabin they fixed up had flooded due to water flowing out of the faucet for months while no one was there, and they determined that the overflow pipe on the well water pipe had gotten blocked, and the well water simply backed up into the cabin.
Gerttings Andrew it has bind a long time since that i has seen your videos and the reason is that back in 2021 i has starte to educate me as a Construction engineer here in Denmark, so i has just not the time anny more to look at your nice videos ☺
I saw three things you did kind of wrong! You didn't lay a filter fabricate layer under the drainage hose, you should have buried the hose in the middle of the gravel, and you should have hand tooled the clay and dirt out of the box a little and have put in 1 or 2 bucks of gravel inside of it! To help keep the clay and leftover debris from clogging up the drainage pipe somewhere down the road from now! Otherwise, you did a good job! P.S. I really enjoy watching your videos!
OMG! another keyboard cowboy!!! No need for fabric on bottom in this case, solid rock on bottom, as for pipe holes.... corrugated pipe have slits all the way around, so the gravel contacts all points.
@@alisciamarotta3888 Sir, some of these folks have actually designed and installed 3-4 low voltage LED lights in the planter at the front of their apartment. Do not minimize their level of experience and expertise!! Lol 😆
AC you could maybe shoot compressed air through the conduit at the pull box to try emptying the standing water inside the conduit. I doubt you'd get all of it. Drilling a hole or two at the elbow and then using the air would certainly get it all out and dry the inside too. Then u could seal the hole(s) in the elbow. U did the hard part already, eliminating the source of flooding. It's pretty cool how nature will find a way to expose our little human errors. Where I'm from you don't see this because the elevation is flat. The flooding at higher elevation caused the water to go UP the conduit at the pole. Very strange for anyone not used to hills. 😮 💦⚡
So nice to see a plain old conduit and culvert job. I must admit I do revisit a few of the old ones. Thanks for this.

Sounds like you know your stuff.
Sounds like the power company cut corners, now the homeowner has to come up with his own solutions..
i agree, seal the conduit entrances after the water has been evacuated. Water sitting in that conduit is gonna cause problems eventually.
That RED tracer on that Black Wire tells me that’s a 2300 volt or higher voltage cable that belongs to the power company.
Water and electricity......What could possibly go wrong ?

To help keep the clay and leftover debris from clogging up the drainage pipe somewhere down the road from now! Otherwise, you did a good job! P.S. I really enjoy watching your videos!
OMG! another keyboard cowboy!!! No need for fabric on bottom in this case, solid rock on bottom, as for pipe holes.... corrugated pipe have slits all the way around, so the gravel contacts all points.
@@alisciamarotta3888 Sir, some of these folks have actually designed and installed 3-4 low voltage LED lights in the planter at the front of their apartment. Do not minimize their level of experience and expertise!! Lol 😆
@@giggiddy you're so right, lmao SIR ¿
Thank you so much for the subtitles!
Water will always get in. Even if it is condensation. Drill a small hole in the conduit just above the ground at the bottom of the pole.
Looks like they tried that, but still had a small river in the conduit
Ya, I say heck no to that. Maybe before the conduit housed a live conductor/cable, not now.
A classic video and great audio. Thanks
Hi friend, i am from Brazil, like you videos
AC you could maybe shoot compressed air through the conduit at the pull box to try emptying the standing water inside the conduit. I doubt you'd get all of it. Drilling a hole or two at the elbow and then using the air would certainly get it all out and dry the inside too. Then u could seal the hole(s) in the elbow. U did the hard part already, eliminating the source of flooding. It's pretty cool how nature will find a way to expose our little human errors. Where I'm from you don't see this because the elevation is flat. The flooding at higher elevation caused the water to go UP the conduit at the pole. Very strange for anyone not used to hills. 😮 💦⚡
Andrew this is a really tame video for you lol 😂 Thanks anyway as always for everything you produce & always love to see the doggies
That ending really puts the position of the pond in perspective to the castle.
Odd problem. Cool solution. Lab inspectors gave it a pass. 🐕🐕
Great Job Andrew. If you had some leaves to blow over the area, no one would even know it had been done. Have good days!
