Restoring A $7,000 Mansion: Building A Basement Water Removal System
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 07. 2024
- My mansion needs a new basement. Today I am attempting to build a water mitigation system, to prevent the basement from being wet, musty, and smelly. I shovel a lot of rock and dirt, pour concrete, calculate slope for drainage pipes, build a french drain, install a sump pump pit, and learn a lot along the way.

i know you are a farmer, but this house renovation series has been so enjoyable and entertaining. i have been subbed for about 2 years
There will be corn stalks in the dining room......
I seriously concur 👍🏻
I have been subbed for 4 years I think.
Cole is a shining example of what a farmer an doin hid career!
As a son nd brother to two of my best examples of hard work! I just wish they were alive to se what coleas done!
Hey Cole been watching you for years but my 73 year old father Vietnam vet that was drafted at 18 left the service after serving an extra 2 years with 2 purple hearts and a bronze star. He passed away yesterday when I showed him your project he loved the videos cause he was a construction worker his whole life. Thank you for giving my dad some relief before he passed... You are doing a great job on your house..
So sorry for your loss
Bless your father for his service. Wishing your family peace and love.
Sorry for your tremendous loss. I appreciate his service, and sacrifice.❤
My condolences on his passing! 2 purple Hearts and a Bronze Star? Dude was a hero!
@@cathiwim My father went through some bad stuff he was a small group that went in and got downed pilots out from behind enemy lines no matter were it was Vietnam Cambodia Laos.
Applause for Justin and Roman! Your hard work has been impressive and so has your sense of humor! Cole, you someday you could be a teacher or a researcher.
Shh... It will never get finished if they catch on @@spdodger
Well the old saying is those who can... do, those who can't... teach. So yes Cole could be a teacher some day.
He already is a farmer, What more do you need?
I feel cheated, lol. That was the fastest 34 minutes I've ever seen. Seriously, to have friends like Justin and Roman is a Godsend. For them to assist on this massive project (even though I'm certain they are being well compensated), shows us what true friendship is. Couple that with your faith and the fellowship you guys are having during the workday is second to none. The three of you are making memories you will reflect on forever. I'm happy you are allowing us all to go on this adventure with you.
I hate to see each video end.
@@christinepoe1944I always find myself wanting just a little more video.
Hey Cole... Avoid a mistake I made. Get a lid in that sump basin ASAP - if you dont put the lid on to keep the perfect circle of the sump basin, the basin will deform as you put rock and concrete around it and the lid wont go on later. Even if it deforms like a 1/16 of and inch from a perfect circle ... the lid wont fit. Great cannel!
I am a long time subscriber and I am loving the house renovation. You can couldn’t find two better helpers than Justin and Roman.
I love how throughly you guys are fixing all of the major things that cost a bunch yet no one sees. With all you guys are doing that house could stand for a very very long time. Great job guys. I look forward to these vlogs all the time. Thanks for taking us along for the journey. ❤
Roman and Justin will always have income, as talented each is. Thank you, gentlemen, for your excellent work and for the humor~~~
Its justin bud.
I have done many exterior French drains and quite a few basement drainage systems. We never use crushed limestone but instead rounded river rock or glacier Rock. The triangular shape of crushed stone compacts and does not allow as much water through. Rounded Rock doesn't compact and allows more pore space for water to get through. Also we use non pressure PVC pipe. Ribbed pipe can hold a little bit of water and may cause mold.
remember this is U.S and there they dont need washed or clean gravel as the rest of the world dose
Amazing work by you three guys. I can't wait to see it fully renovated. Roman is a keeper a very hardworking all rounder.
Cole, I can’t over state how lucky you are to have Justin and Roman as friends, not many people would work this hard for you. I hope you are paying them accordingly! I love the project but hope it doesn’t stress your friendship.
10 years ago, my dad had an interior french drain installed in his basement and it has worked like a charm.
You have a great team Cole, including yourself . All hard working men . God bless you all ,stay safe 😊
I am not a farmer, nor a home improvement person, but I am completely obsessed with your videos. I can't wait for the next video each time. Excited for the part where you are putting up drywall and making it a home.
You never know how important a basement is. I always thought of it as storage area. You are making the basement very usable.
Also they are in tornado alley. That basement could save their life.
Way to go Roman & Justin , you two deserve more than a round of applause ….. tell Cole you want a BONUS!!!
We have a French drain system all the way around our house plus two sump wells. You will never regret doing g more than required when it comes to water mitigation!
@@laurel2453 most have both, inside and out. He has said several times now that he will be doing this on the outside as well. Every house with a sump pump has this or some form of this pipe on the inside, thats what feeds into the sump pit. Im not why you are confused why he has this on the inside.
@@warrenmichael918You are absolutely wrong. The water proofing is ONLY done on the outside. Sump pumps are only used when the basement is below the sewer line/ water table. If a house is below the water table that is when they will be the French drain on the inside and outside of the basement but they are connected together and have two sump pumps for the inside and outside drains.
@@warrenmichael918 Tell us you know absolutely nothing about sump pump installation... because everything you said was pure BS. Most houses with a sump pump pit has just that... a hole in the basement floor with a sump pump sitting in it.
@@Katie-fg8kc im not sure what the comments are doing because they are all mixed up together for me. Water proofing as in rolling on either tar or a sheeting is done on the out side, i agree and didnt say different. If youre calling drainage tiles waterproofing, they are most certainly done on BOTH the outside along the foundation and the inside under the floor. You and i are talking about 2 different things when i say a french drain i guess. Youre talking about french drains i guess that run into a sump pump and are being pumped out. Im saying a french drain is a drain that is totally free from having any pumps because there is enough fall or at a high enough level to flow out naturally, like Cole is doing. He has a naturally flowing drainage system in his basement that will flow through his drainage pipes and flow naturally without any pumping straight to the creek. His house is much higher than the creek so he is running a french drain. Maybe its called something different where youre from but thats what we call a french drain here.
@@benhur520 When did i say anything different? Cole has a sump pump pit and im sure he will put a pump in it. It probably will never run but it will be there. The comments are all mixed together for me on youtube tonight so i dont know what comment i made that makes you think i dont know what a sump pit is. Cole has a naturally flowing french drain tile system he installed on the inside of his basement floor and that will flow naturally out to the creek. Then he installed a sump pump pit, he didnt install it like most get installed because he didnt run his floor tiles into it. He is using that as a backup incase the perimeter tiles ever clog up, the water under the floor will seep into the pit and the pump will be used to pump it out. I assume he will pipe the pump up and out like a normal pump gets plumbed in also. The solid 4 inch line he ran from the pit will be his 3rd line of defense, if the perimeter tile fails, the pump gets the water, if the pump fails, the pit fills up and runs out naturally through the solid pipe out to the creek. There isnt anything wrong with any of what i just said now or in any other comments. I have installed several sump pumps in my life, retired LU 653 plumber here.
Cole, you epitomize the definition of a farm, JACK OF ALL TRADES!!! You have learned to cover all aspects of farming and with the restoration of your home, you have experience home renovation on a whole new level. You cover EVERY ASPECT of home renovation! I wasn't expecting these home renovations videos when I started following your channel, but I sure am enjoying it. Keep them coming!
Cole, love your "This Old House" way of explaining the procedures, you sound like a teacher...Your group work so well together...love the update..❤😊
Three hard working and capable amigos doing an incredible job. Bless you.
Great work, Justin and Roman! You're playing major roles in the restoration of this mansion.
Details matter! Critical thinking and long-range planning matter! Changing directions as needed also matter!! Cole, Justin, Roman: YOU GUYS MATTER TO US!!!! Blessings!!
Roman, listening to you explain stuff is relaxing. You speak clearly and
a little bit slower which I appreciate. I bet you’re a great Dad and Husband.
Cole you are doing a great job and won’t regret all of this.
Cole, do you have a large waterproof tarp, or plastic drop cloth? If so, next time you're expecting rain, put a tarp down on the basement ramp (weight the edges so it doesn't blow away). The water will still run down the tarp and collect at the bottom of the ramp, but the rest of the ramp might stay a lot dryer. Which will mean less mud to deal with.
Cole, give Roman and Justin a bonus for their hard work they did in this video!!!!! They deserve it. Shot out to Roman and Justin!!!!❤❤
This project is really coming along nicely. Who knew water removal could be so entertaining?! hahaha
Keep up the great work Cole!
Cole I look forward to seeing your work. Thanks for sharing this story! I love your style and your energy! That Roman and Justin contribute their knowledge and personal experiences! I’m excited for you and your family 😊
Hello Mr. Cole, this basement work is simply astounding to me!!! God Bless your efforts!!!
When it's just you three or just them two you guys always get a lot done and that's awesome I love watching videos like this family is important to to everyone and it's awesome that you are rebuilding that house for you guys to live in from now on
French drain man is pretty awesome. I did my entire permeter drain lines and down spouts from what I learned from him. Actually drove out to his place in MI from Pittsburgh. Got my materials quickly and saved almost $500 shipping. The drive with a trailer, tolls and fuel was only about $250.
Applause to all of you! I live watching you guys work together
Justin and Roman are doing incredible work!!!!! Cole, just try and keep up.
Justin and Roman have been great in helping with everything so far. I’m happy you have good friends like them. So hats off to them.
Those 2 guys are doing the work, Cole helps them, he hired them to do the job.
What I am learning just from watching you figure things out is an education in itself. Great job, Cole.
I hope you aren't taking notes of the many, many things they're doing wrong on this "restoration". This house won't last 10 years.
Cole, by drilling all the holes in the sump pump basin, you've made it a hot spot for radon leakage. When you put the cover on, you need to silicon seal it so it doesn't leak into the basement.
He said he is putting in a radon mitigation system, which most all basements in Iowa have.

@@tamicoil7069By drills holes will allow radon gas to escape from the ground and find its way into the basement. You never drill holes in the basin for the sump pumps. If they needed holes in them, the company would have put them in.
@@Katie-fg8kc They didnt drill a hole where the outlet pipe goes at the factory and i bet they know it needs one there. Many people drill holes in their pump crock if they are gonna use them like Cole is. He isnt piping his floor tiles into the pit, he is usiong it as a backup overflow pit, to allow the water to seep in if the floor tiles get plugged up.
@@warrenmichael918 I get that, but the outlet pipe be connected to the actual sump pump. I haven’t seen one that ain’t like that. That is what floor drains are made for.
Cole, I'm your local Texas pump guy. Your sump pump will likely have a 2" discharge connection. You are going to need 2" discharge pipe for the sump pump, that 4" won't work well or connect to the pump. We normally see 2" sch 40 PVC pipe used as discharge line.
You could use the 4" corrugated like a conduit for discharge pipe. Get 2" flex hose and pull thru the pipe.
Better yet abandon the 4" line and run rigid PVC pipe to closest wall for discharge. Shorter run the better. Normally discharge piping is run out the lid and above the cement floor for future maintenance and replacement.
Discharge line below cement could be a recipe for disaster if pipe breaks/leaks.
I love your channel. Keep it up brother!
Love the house restoration you and your family and friends always busy from construction to farming God bless your hard labor
With the wind storms and tornadoes becoming more frequent have you considered putting a storm shelter in while you’re doing all this digging and dirt work, could be a section of the underground movie theater, just an suggestion, espically with young kids at home.
On another note, corrugated piping for water mitigation is not recommended anymore due to the constant standing water in the corrugated plastic, mold and mildew have been known to grow there leading to the smell you’re trying to avoid, I would recommend pvc with holes instead if you want to avoid this problem forever.
A second sump may also-be wise in the room I believe you used to call the interrogation room
Enjoying the videos. Sorry about your grandfather. Hugs and prayers for your family.
Watching you, Justin and Roman doing all this renovation work and figuring some things out as y’all go along, makes me wonder and wish there was some way to see the original work being done a hundred years ago. Thanks for sharing all this! ❤
HI cole applause to justin and roman of the layout for the tile drain. A 1/16th / ft fall is perfect for the tile. As for the sewer you are going to have a fall of 1/8th/ft for 4in pipe. My suggestion is not to use 90's for change of direction but use 45's instead on the sewer line just makes the flow better. If you dont have enough fall the solids will start to deposit on the bottom of the pipe. I've been a plumber for the last 30yrs and love it.
As a plumber the first thing you should of told him was to get the height of the septic tank so he know the height of the drain lines coming out of the house. I highly doubt that he can do system that ill be 10 feet deep if he plans on doing a basement bathroom. He need a pump system to handle that. Easy to do that know then later.
@@johnunsicker7440 If you see on the previous vidoes you can see they had a basement bathroom group with a w/c and a sink! i guess you didnt see that so i took that as going to be the septic tank depth! But if they can hang it off the floor joist would be even better but i dont know what is there code being that its gets very cold in there area. Oh by the way i think the septic would have to be below the frost level dont you think!
@@chesterkaczka6423 He has a big elevation change from his house to the back of his property, he will have enough fall to run his sewer out there and make whatever depth he needs i think. Not sure about his county and how they do their sewer systems. Like the guy above said though, if he needs any tests done , the earlier the better, even though it will be a while before he needs a septic system.
You have brightened my day. Cole thank you
With all that rain 🌧️ the 🌽 corn must be getting really tall. 😮
Your dedication to restoring the $7,000 mansion, especially with the basement water removal system, showcases your determination and craftsmanship. Your commitment to preserving history and creating a functional space is truly admirable. You inspire with your ingenuity and attention to detail. You embody the spirit of restoration and resilience. And I am Floating Village Life
Awesome job Roman and Justine. You two are the go to get it done team. I enjoyed watching the video
A great foundation for your young family there. I think all your grandfathers, Great and otherwise, would be proud. Amazing restoration project! I remember the tour of that space and property before you cleared over a century of accumulated accumulations there and over the entire property. Amazing Cole!
Cole, if you ever decide to diverge from farming, you would make a fantastic teacher! Your explanations are so well thought out and delivered that I feel as if I could renovate a 100 year old mansion myself!
Greetings from Brisbane, Australia ❤
Looks like Cole's jouney is moving along smoothly...hopefully the plumbing also goes well.
Your videos are great been following you for many years now, I am from Sweden.
One thing in Sweden we never ever lay drainpipe inside the footing of the foundation. Always on the outside because than the foundation is always bone-dry. I know it's hard too put drainpipe on the outside now when you have the wrap around porch. But now you always have some moisture under the floor. Just a thought that I have when watching your absolutely great channel and hard work.
I love how you live by " everything is figureoutable" !
Good job guys,enjoyed this one , 💪to Justin and Roman ! Your keepers👍♥️😁
three cheers for justin and the mayor great job/ lets not forget number 1 labour cole the cornstar 😁😁🤣🤣🤣 great job guys keep up the good work your doing a fantastic job
I'm very impressed with your work ethic Cole and friend's
It is amazing all these systems that will be covered up, but make the house work properly. Great video.
Cole when you do your floor drains make sure you have one by your water heater for draining it and by the furnace for condensate. Looking great so far!!
Ok, they are being paid by the hour but they are saving your families legacy. The three of you are an inspiration.
Round of Applause gentleman! Heroic job!!

Why like when it done wrong?
Autoplay is the reason for people forgetting to hit like most of the time.. I now turn it off til I've caught up with my subscriptions and hit that like 👍

I always hit the like button at the begining because i already know I'm going to enjoy anything Cole does. Absolutely love this family ❤
I agree!
Yep! Like I said when you started this. Figure out the amount of time/money you think this should take and triple it. In all the remodeling I have done that is what I have done and it has worked out well. Older homes always give you surprises and labor isn't getting any cheaper. Glad to see you are on the putting stuff back together more than tearing it apart phase Cole/Roman/Justin. Good work!
Edward is inhereting a heck of a house
But he's spending as if a new build, it's more about them knowing it's history (my guess)
Cole! I love watching these Renovations! ❤ I don’t want it to end!🤣😱
Justin and Roman have been working so hard on your house .
Hope this part of the restoration works well.
Hit that like button for Cole!!!!
Great Day in the Morning 🌄 !!! Thank You Mr Cornstar for posting this Vlog !!! 😊😊😊
Funny, I just watched the same thing on A Few Acres Farms channel,....drainage Sunday
You all will get an applause from me! Fantastic work ethic. Don’t see that enough any more. Great tutorial! Thanks
I’m hoping you put vapor barrier down before the concrete pour? This should keep any radon out and provide a secondary moisture barrier? This would also keep your musty smell down as well? I would waterproof the walls as well if it was me?
Most basement water proofing companies stopped using corogated pipe inside the house perimeter because they are breeding grounds for mold.
They changed to ridgid pvc w/holes poining down so the pipe never has water stuck in ribs.
That makes sense to me.

I dont know why all the North Americans dont use commen sense. In Sweden we put ALL our dranage pipes UNDER the footings of the foundation and on the OUTSIDE, then you got a dry wall. Maybe you think your roof gona leak so you get a swimmingpool in the basement and want to dranage that out. Dont forget the proper materials on the outside and get it ventilated. I dont know about your place but where i live the Muncipality have a Radon Map for all Muncipal where you can see if there is any Radon, i can borrow a gauge to messure if i want. If you dont have Radon i dont understand why spending time and money on that installation. Normal is to have the dranage pipes on the outside for water under the walls and then you have a normal 4 inch pipe around the house where you connect all pipes from the gutters on the roof and dranage that water far away from your foundation/house. Just think about what happend if you got a soil on the outside how is wet and you dont have the dranage at the lowest point, so now you have a water pressure from the higher level on the outside and gone pressure water in to your pipes and bec you put your dranage on the inside and high pipes you gona have wet floor all around the basement bec of your pipes. If you istall a pump you must figure it out that something with your construction is wrong and must correct it with a pump. Your France expert should ask him self where the water come from and where shall we stop it, doing all the works inside the house is like a temporary band aid for a bad constrution.
@@laurel2453 Yep, they typically use both: ribbed outside, smooth ridgid on the inside. I had mine redone years ago due to mold and that was the solution.
They stopped using the Cheap pipe that has the ribs on the inside. The good perf pipe has a solid inner wall. Im not sure what Coles pipe is though. His non perf tile looks like it is the solid inner but i cant tell yet about his perf tile.
We are gonna know how to do all this stuff plus how to think outside the box ,which is invaluable in this world 😅
Praying all the Cornstars and the farms are safe with this nasty weather today!
Restoration is looking good!
Roman needs a raise!
Holy cow! It takes so much work to make the dream work!! And you are absolutely right Roman and Juston deserve the huge applause! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 simply amazing guys! Simply amazing. You show how to do it. Slow and steady wins the race!!
Can wait for next installment. Grin.
I think the biggest satisfaction you will get in this series, is looking back with your wife and kids years from now to see all the work that their Dad did to make this house into a home.
Holy-moly, what a job! Great work guys.👍👏
👏👏👏👏 for Justin and Roman from Canada you two are awesome!
You're a natural on camera, keep shining!
For everyone that upvotes these generic comments, if you see a girl in a bikini it's a bot. Upvote a thoughtful comment instead. Hi Cole!!!
You should use pvc pipe from the sump pump pit. When it’s running all the ripples will prevent the water from shooting out. The pipe you put in works good when it is a gravity drain but if you’re pumping pvc is the way to go.
I'm not very smart but I would have done all the trenching and tile and sump and radon mitigation before I brought in one rock for the floor base. But I don't like putting in rock and then having to dig it back out to put in pipe. And then put the rock back
These are two great friends you have.
👏👏👏👏👏 great job Roman and Justin.
Who would have guessed that Roman would be the new star of the series
Place a perforated cover on the exit end of your drain ends. Dirt Perfect solved a slow drain in a recent pond build, after running sensor nearly 400 ft. Discovered a dead possum at the junction leading to the inlet.
I am enjoying the varied play speeds. Speed up sometimes and slow down & talk, others. Well done. This is quite fun to check in and see where you are at. What a difference!
Cole, thank you. I needed this today. 🇺🇸
Cole u have the best people on the job 😂😂😂
I would love for your videos to be longer or every day as I miss not seeing you guys
Four drains plus extra stuff! Go Cole!
There are pre made tile elbows u can use which is a lot less expensive than using schedule 40,
Run a fresh water line to the sump pump hole. Once a month turn on the water valve above the sump hole and fill the hole. This will exercise the pump when it's dry weather, also you will know if the pump ever gets bad. Electric motors need to be run monthly.
On new homes we run drain tile around the outside and inside we then put drain tile in the footing every so often that way water from outside and inside all drain away together
Our farm house basement west of Scranton has a rock built basement!! It also had a dirt floor when we moved into it years ago!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Justin and Roman. Great job.😊❤❤
I love you god fearing,salt of the earth,blue color bad asses. Absolutely killer content. A little of everything. The remodeling is my "crack" addiction for sure. You babies will Inherit such greatness. FROM the sum of family. CANT believe the history of the dynasty that has filled that house with sadness and laughter and utter joy. Fascinating history.
My big round of 🙌👏🙌👏 for Justin & Roman - great job guys!
I did an drain in my basement and connected to a sump pump. I didn't put any slope on it and it worked perfectly.
Cole, you should also think about adding a floor drain near a wall and not just centered in the rooms. Dehumidifier, A/C evap coil. water heater, sinks, etc are typically against a wall and need drains.
idk what the rules are in Iowa, but every sump pump i've seen ejects out of a schedule 40 1.5" pipe to the exterior, with a check valve to prevent back flow. The ejection never relies on gravity, except after it's outside the structure over the foundation. Oh, and you can 100% use the drain tile pipe for the radon. That's a total over-purchase and extra work you didn't need to do.
I bet he does run his pump line like that. The 4 inch gravity line from the pit is just there as a backup in case the pump fails and the pump is a backup for the floor tile he ran.
❤❤❤❤ I am loving this series and look forward to each video. You have a great and dedicated team working for you and there is absolutely nothing wrong with learning new things to add to your portfolios!!
Cole you and Juston are doing a awesome job on your grandfather's mansion!! ❤😊❤

I have a waterproof basement on my house build checklist. Interior tile, exterior tile, sump, probably tile the gutters and down spouts too. Ive had water in my current basement 3 times in 8 years and its a total pain. Never want to deal with that again.
