      Hey Chuck,
      Would you come to my farm house in Tennessee to help me with my foundation?
      It has an easy access crawl space that is about 3-4 feet in height. I have water coming in on one side of the house and I could use your expertise
      to solve the issue.
      You seem like the nicest guy and I just don’t trust some of these big companies that use scare tactics to get you to pay thousands and thousands for something that may be a $200 to &300 fix.
      I’d rather pay your company more to
      I sure everything is done correctly.

    Ironically, contractors like Chuck who "show you how to save money" by doing it yourself while choosing a more economical option usually end up getting more business, albeit with a more educated, respectful client. Clients are often more willing to open up their wallet when dealing with an informative, transparent contractor. Good job, Chuck.

      A lot of these DYI solutions never tell you about how much work and tools are required to do a job quickly and efficiently. So for the average consumer, it makes sense to higher a professional company to do it correctly the first time than spend all the time and hard work yourself to do it. There is also the insurance aspect to it as well, if you fail a project you are on the hook for life and could violate your home insurance. A business has their own insurance and covers the parts and service for work done on your house and certified by your home insurance company.

      This is great for surface water. With that said what about saturation of the landscape and water permeating through the soil. Isn't that truly what a French drain accomlishes besides the surface water? Don't get me wrong I'm all for the cheap solutions provided that it works as least as good.

    • @rogerbritus9378
      @rogerbritus9378 2 роки тому +5

      @@drewberrynews3875 Water saturating the soil is natural after large rains, and it soon seeps down or dries out. Now, if it pools, then it's surface water, isn't it? And if waterlogs the soil, that's because the soil has no permeability to allow water to move down and out (clay?), in which case a French drain won't help either, because water won't move to it due to the soil low permeability blocking the water path.

    I purchased a home in Waynesville, NC on top of Waynesville Mountain which has two 500 gallon tank Spring boxes. House water was once fed by this spring. Just having lots of fun trying to get rid of the amount of water that comes into the yard. Have a rock wall and downhill pitch into where the house sits. Have had 2 French drains installed.
    Working on digging the crawl space now to install corrugated pipe. Would love to be able to get some advice on running pipe throughout the perimeter along the footings like you’ve shown in your videos, but also beside the heat pump which is kind of in the middle (think I have to run an additional pipe across there). Also have a water pump, and both have water releases (condensation pipe on the heat pump and a water spigot in the water pump used for priming). Was thinking of making a hole into the corrugated pipe to allow the condensation pvc pipe into the corrugated pipe unless you have a better suggestion. Maybe a drain box under the water nozzle... please let me know when you have time for a consult and if I can send pics and videos. Thanks a million 😀!
