- French Drain Tutorial - Every Detail You Need to Know French Drain Man
We have a yard that's taking in a lot of water from neighboring properties. It ends up in high concentration in the back of this yard and it's having a hard time finding its way out. We're going to build a fully encapsulated French drain system that's going to take in surface water as well as subsurface water. It's never going to need any maintenance because it's going to be fully encapsulated. We're going to take you through every detail for this French drain tutorial.

FDM you must take good care ($) of your crew to have them come out on a cold windy MI winter day to dig in the dirt and mud . Enjoy your videos
Great video Big Ups to your crew for working in this type of weather not running short on sunblock 😂
Another fantastic job. Yes those MI winters can get in ones way. But not too bad this day. Great job.
Awesome thank you sir, for taking the time to make these videos really really helpful.
Great job fellas.
I would hire you all and i would work for a guy like you who values his employees. Doing it tight and right always wins
Nice job & a great crew. Take care of that crew. They all work together and that’s hard to find.

I love it in Boca Raton.Fl we've got nice weather plus I hate the cold
I love Michigan with all my heart. There is truly nowhere else I'd rather be. This winter was an easy one it was very mild. When we have a harsh winter, retreating to Florida for a break is a must, and Florida is my perfer choice. The people are nice and it's in the 🇺🇸 USA!
I was born in Detroit and have family around there but love Florida.
Amazing!!! This is one of the best videos yet. Problems explained and solved all in one video👍
Do you have referrals in our close to Sioux City, Iowa?
Our office will know 248-505-3065
Thanks for the great video. It doesn't look like you used socks on the pipes, but your stone looks like it has a lot of small crushed bits in it - won't those clog the pipes? I just ordered a pallet of your pipes - 2 solid for downspout and 2 for french drains. Look forward to fixing some H2O problems in my yard. 😁👍
We had a lot of ice and snow in our stone. The stone was a mix of 3/4" and 1 1/2" Cobblestone. It was all-around rock. If we use a crushed stone, we put a sock on it.
Great job! How deep do you go with the trench? I have grass in my yard so would need to be able to put soil and grass on top of the burrito wrapped pipe/rock.

I have a basement with interior foundation perimeter sump drain system. This spring, we still had water entering the basement. I am considering installing your french drain system on the high side of my house and run it towards the alley drain area low side of our yard. Since sub surface water is getting under my foundation and pressurizing it, would your system even help? How deep should I try and get your system to around the house while maintaining slope? Thank you very much for your answers and all of your videos! Extremely helpful and well done!

Do you have any videos on how to use a mini-excavator to dig a trench correctly? I'm planning to rent one for my French drain project this spring but I've never run one before.

FDM, Lovn everything you put out, Im going to tackle my own project. Approx 250' run, backyard soppy, pools in a specific spot. Can you tell me if my plan sounds feasible. Capped at higher point 4" perforrated approx 75' run (soppy area) to catch basin at pooling area, approx 150' from there out to street. My question is, do i use the perforrated pipe for the entire run or only to the catch basin than solid from there for run off? Popup release under sidewalk out front. TIA for help , Northern NY.

You Rock Brother!! Thanks for the help. Fingers crossed, I'm going in. Keep the lessons coming. Thanks again, take care😊
What size bucket do you use to dig that trench for the double barrel system with 2- 4" pipes?
The dirt in our service area breaks out 16" with a 9" bucket. We do have a 12", 14", 16", 18", 24" and 36" ditching bucket. We use them all.
Open French drain, how did you layer that? Did you just wrap the pipe and dump stone on it? Or wrap pipe with some stone and then dumped stone on top? I remember from another video you said you don't want stone and dirt to touch.

Need a quote for my mushy back yard in Birmingham. Hope you can help.

I'm curious, why do this job in the winter? Is it a matter of scheduling and staying busy all year?
We work until we no longer can because we are always hungry and never satisfied. High ambitions 🙃 💪
It seems like the drain tiles are significantly lower than the opening of the storm drain. Did you bore into the side of the storm drain?

Is it easy to split the baughman tile? Like if I bought a 100' roll, but I needed some 20' sections, I could just split it with a saw?
Yes, use a hack saw.
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN brilliant, thanks!
It didn't look like a catch basin was installed on the downspout line that connects into the french drain line. Wouldnt shingle gravel be a problem or was it a metal roof?
There are going to be thousands of gallons of water passing through that discharge line. It will take whatever comes off that roof with it.
i have a very high water table in my backyard. what type of contractor should i get to come out to install one of these systems?
Yard Drainage Contractor
My neighbors yard is about 3ft higher than mine, and because of that, I get a decent amount of standing water in my backyard and it taxes my French drain system in my basement. I am not sure what system would be best (French drain or backyard drain)… and my other issues is my neighbor has trees nearby… any recommendations?

I have a high water table, I want to say 36 inches. What size basin would ideal for that?
We sell a full frame SCREAMIN DEMON that's 30" tall
Do you have any videos where you installed a French drain by the footing of a basement?
No, but this will get you close

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN Thank you very much. I am on video number 2. My son recently bought a house and he got a great price. Part of the reason for the great deal is the problems that need to be solved. We solved a bunch of them but now to tackle the water coming into the basement. Good stuff.
is there a company that does this up here in Connecticut? I cannot find anyone for my yard. everyone says they cant help me. Also, whats the price of something like this?
5k to 10k is a normal range
Call our main office to see if we have a contractor near you 248-505-3065

Are ypu guys using a 9" bucket?
Yes, mostly. The clay breaks out to 14" wide
What is the last I can go down in North East
You can be as shallow as you want in the North. Because if you build it right with slope, it will not hold water, so there will be no water in it to freeze.
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN what rule of thumb do you use for pitch?
