How to run Irrigation Pipes Under Walkways or even a Driveway. 

Ok so yesterday I was asked to do this under a 12ft driveway.. And I had to you tube.. Went to home depot spent 5 bucks and it went through no rocks or roots of course.. In record time less than 5 minutes for 12 ft thank gosssh.. Great video thanks for making me think about it.. Highly recommend

Thank you, just what I needed! One of the best things I saw was how happy your children were! Keep up the good work!!

Excellent video! Always wondered how to do that. Thanks from Portland, Oregon

I needed this knowledge last week now this awesome video pops up after after my struggle?

Thank you for a great instructional video.

I love it - American Ingenuity, smart guy using what God gave you. Need more young folks like your self, Thanks!

Thank you! Just did mine today under 5mins.

I really can’t believe all the weird nitpicky comments. Bizarre. I personally loved the video. Ignore all the weirdo criticism. At least you produced something.

Good tips and vid . Thanks man

Great video! Thanks for the easy instructions!

one of my climbing rose bushes died, dried even since its been raining, weird, but the sprinkler system never got to this point, always dry :(. hope my husband doesn't fight with me over this project. new rose bush is $40. praying he gets excited to try this.

Thanks for the tip

Good method. Thanks man.

Thank you for sharing!!

brilliant

where did the drill bit shank come from - did you fabricate it?

What can I do if the pipe is broken within the cement slab ? It’s broken all the way through. They cut it with saw and replaced the slab without fixing pipe for some reason. It’s graded inline for my water drainage. Hoa won’t fix it

What size drill bit do you recommend for the pvc cap hole?

Just came across your video. Perfect timing too. Two questions. Will this have any negative effect on the integrity of the cement or the dirt foundation underneath it? Will it make the concrete base weaker?

Thanks for the tip !

May I ask what the drill bit is specifically and where I can get one?

My water spigot is in the middle of my 2 garage doors. And I have a brick retaining wall on one side of the driveway that I need to get over to my flower bed. You started with you had your system up and over your garage door. I am wondering if i run the system from the spigot and over my garage door and up if it will work. Will there be enough pressure to get it up and over?

I have to replace a 1-inch irrigation pipe that runs under my 30-foot wide driveway. Is that too tricky of a job for a first-timer following your video? I could see getting off the path and missing my mark while removing a lot of dirt. Thanks

In line ball valve so you don't have to keep running to your shut off.

Thank you

how pong does the black pvc pipe last? 5-8 years?

Does the void left under the concrete cause any problems after you water jet the pipe in?

What is the likelihood of bad cracks developing in the concrete after you wash away the load bearing soil support.

I have gravel and crusher run under my sidewalk. Unfortunately this method doesnt work. Any ideas beyond horizontal auger?

I’m going to pour a new driveway. How deep or what is the depth should a conduit go from the surface? And should it be laid underneath the rebar? I’m also building a new brick walkway in my front yard. How deep should a conduit go for irrigation drip lines? I’m not sure if I want to have drip lines or pvc for sprinklers for the conduit under the brick walkway so should I install 2 conduits if I want to have both drip and spray?

Why not use a water jet? I think they have those commercially available.

its great unless you have insane roots and or brick chunks under the concrete, its ok everything turned out....

Galvanized steel pipe not copper. You can buy 4 ft lengths and join them with unions as you progress under the driveway. You can put a PVC cap with holes for the water jet or smash the end to a flat end.

It's called class 200 meaning 200 psi burst pressure and it is used in most areas not under concrete because it has a better flow rate (gpm)

I have a low spot in the driveway that always accumulates water but I'd be concerned about running water underneath the driveway like that and causing a void in the earth and then causing the concrete to crack under the weight of a vehicle

I hope this isn't a gag video, because I'm going to try this next weekend! If this works, I will send you $40 which ever pay method you prefer.

Newton's 3rd Law, Homie... That's how we got to the Moon! LOL - 3:52

Any harm in doing this under a paver walkway?

3:10.. previous project..(lightsaber). Cough Cough. Lolol

you will find if you drill a small hole in the end cap and one hole in the pipe at the at the edge of the cap on a sharp angle back to you on 2 sides will clean the hole out a lot better and faster and the pipe will go in a lot easer, this is what the high presser wash trucks have on there hose to cleaning out sewer pipes from in your home, the don't use a pipe just there stiff hose with a tip on it with the 3 holes, one spraying forward an 2 spraying back, I put sand pints in the ground at camps about 10 feet up from the water edge of the lake, and have the steel pipe connected to the sand point and I have sections of 1/2" steel pipe hooked up to a 1" gas water pump and I put the 1" pipe next to the sand point pipe and push them both down together by hand, the water test come back totally safe to drink. I only do it were it is sand or fine dirt, I have never tried it in black dirt,

Not sure where you live, but I don't think this will work for clay soil. Glad it worked for you! Blessings...daisy

Don't be overly surprised if the concrete cracks and sags where you washed away the dirt with the all that water.

personally I would use a sleeve pipe (that is bigger than the irrigation pipe) so you can thread your wires through it easily and reduce penetration or crushing damage

Why not hook the power washer to it?.

That's an end mill. The hole is for coolant flow

Try in solid grnd will not work

My concern is for future collapse of the driveway... Good video though !

cool ideas, just hard to watch if you get motion sickness.

I love eating sugar cane.

Shoulda said "super easy"!!! lol

Info starts at 2:24

first of all, no such thing as schedule 20 pvc pipe. It's class 200 and schedule 40 the most common. a 11/2 inch galvanized pipe with reducer and cap, sledge hammer and a little bit of labor willdo the trick with no structural integrity loss.

Lol... that Crack ain't from a tree.... I've done thousands of bores, that Crack is from bore its self must be 1' per 1" in diameter bore, so a 1" bore must be at a 1" depth 2" at 2' etc... all that water just displaces the very soil that supports the concrete.... that concrete will now crack... just a matter of when

Great ideas but man you sound like you’re dying-

Great video but why are you sniffing so much?

Nice tutorial but lousy camera work. I was getting dizzy watching.

Please try not to make so many wild camera movements. I feel sick now.

Great tips but your filming is making me dizzy!

U need a check up man you don’t look that out of shape. You may have a oxygen issue, you aren’t absorbing O2. Get one of the cheap deals you clamp on your finder and see what you oxygen levels are, should be about 95%.

snort crank much?

Them sniffles don't sound natural. 🤔😂

That music is so distracting! :(

What's up with all the sniffling? Did u do a line before u hit record? Then u gagged/coughed like u had a bad drip. Idk man w.e. your excuse is I don't buy it. Lol

😡😡😡Background sound effects is so 🤬🤬🤬annoying and unnecessary. It’s so damn annoying I exited @ 8:27 seconds.🥵🥵🥵 There’s a reason there are no freaking sound effects in schoos from kindergarten to university level… Think about it 🤔.
