French Drain is perforated pipe surrounded with an aggregate. The drain collects SUBSURFACE WATER. It helps dry out low spots in your yard. A CATCH BASIN collects Immediate Surface Water. As it rains harder and harder, water will begin to pool up in your low spot. The Catch Basins allows that water to drain directly into your system.
You need both for Proper Yard Drainage
French Drain is a great way to help remover water from areas around the yard , the foundation and crawl space. Here is a great project for the DIY. Use a Sump Pump for even better discharge of the water.

You are an excellent teacher, Chuck! I will let you know how it works out, as their home is smack dab in the middle of a ravine, and there is definitely many areas on the property that could use proper drainage. Thanks so much! Gaila

Hi Mike . you know, where ever it rains in the country, we get calls. I even had a call in grand rapids Michigan and tried my best to help the lady find a local contractor. I even referred her to the French drain guy although I don’t know if he travels and I don’t know if she called him or not. But I just Posted a video about nationwide help for foundations.

@helenclayton8259 2 года назад

If I replace clay soil to about 60/80cm deep with top soil, would I be able to rely on a French drain without a catch basin ? I don’t know anything about catch basins or how to instal them but I plan to use a French drain however My issue is that water sits on top for a long time too. Would this still happen if it was top soil ?

@scottparis539 5 лет назад

I'm a little stumped by figuring out the correct pitch on the trench. Did you mention that and I missed it somehow? My trench has to get over a shallow but long hump or hill, so the trench will need to be a bit deeper in the middle part of the run, and shallower at both ends. How do you get the right pitch on the bottom of the trench?

@juliebower5092 4 года назад

i love your informative videos and would love to solve my sanding water problem by installing a catch drain and discharge pipe...but...it would be so much easier and cheaper to just direct the water next door where gravity would be assisting as well, i just don't think the neighbors would be as happy as i would!

@teacherlynn671 3 года назад

Great video. My neighbor has a leak they won’t fix and the city won’t help. My question is I have a 3” pipe that runs under the area I need fixed and it goes to the street though the curb and is used for pool deck and backyard drainage. How would I tie into it to take the water away from the side of my house? Do you have a video on that? Again great job!!!

@captainover-tighten6729 4 года назад

How are the results for grass growth over the drain tile? Especially where you are in Sandy soil. I’m waaaaaay up north and we have (and needs to be changed) a section of big o layer years ago, but July on after the water table drops you can see the path of the drain to the ditch because it “browns” much earlier than the rest of the lawn that can get to the lower table. Thanks. Really enjoying your videos, good tips, and you are pretty thorough. Much appreciated. Hope you are all well and safe.

Hello-Chicago residential guy here, standing water backyard after heavy rain. There is a drain/catch basin on the lot line but it only catches surface run-off of neighbor and I. Yes, slight pitch in both yards. Can’t tie-in a french cause the basin is a solid concrete cylinder. Would this work: I shallow trench from the center of standing water (20’ x 15’ area) to the basin, but only lay gravel wrapped in fabric, no corrugated pipe. Replace sod. Your opinion? Thanks.
