    I think Chris is right. The slots in the tile may have silted in blocking water coming in. The gravel will create a "french drain effect for the water to filter through. Let us know how it turns out...

    • @stuartandrews4344
      @stuartandrews4344 Před rokem +2

      Those pipes will always block in that clay, why didn't they use a pipe with a filter sleeve (geotextile sock wrap) , which is designed to protect underground perforated land drain pipes from becoming clogged up by sand and silt particles.

    My farm has springs all over the hill ground. The water follows the ledge rock out to the surface. Those springs can flow more water than you think. I have one that runs over 500 gallons a minute in wet periods. We started with a six inch tile and then put in an eight inch. We ended up digging in a 12 inch pipe to finally get it stopped.
    In our heavy clay soils we have the same issue getting the water in the pipe long term. The inlets will try to silt up. We are now digging a Y, with the upper legs going up hill for 10-15 feet each side of the spring flow. We lay tile in the bottom and back fill with inch clean stone. We then cover that with silt cloth before we back fill the top with dirt. The oldest of these are now over fifteen years old and are still working.
    P.S. It is great that you both have those young men helping. They learn a lot doing this type of stuff with you both.

    I remember going to work with my father sometimes on Saturdays when I was a kid and how much I enjoyed it. I got to ride around with him on a forklift, check things off his clipboard as he loaded trucks and even sometimes got to work the pipe cutter machine. I now know he was just giving my mother a brief time without me being there but I still remember those times happily.

    If you try installing one these type setups again you should seriously give consideration to making a sock out of landscaping fabric to cover the fitting and then cover it with gravel or dig down a foot or so then place landscaping fabric then gravel and then landscaping fabric. I have done both with smaller drains on my 5 acre house lot where previous drain pits (field tile pipe into a pit filled with gravel and sand then covered with dirt) that silted up after only a couple of years. The pits I redid now have been in the ground and working fine for now going on six years

    that very dark soil is swamp mud. very fertile but holds water badly regardless of drainage efforts. if the water can't go down it must come up. this is a deep dry dam type of situation which will lower the water table to the depth of the dry dam. it will remain wet below the level of the bottom of the dry dam.
    this is a tough job to get drained right
