Any thoughts about installing the basin after the PVC 90? So run the downspout underground, into the basin from the side, then run the actual drain out the opposing side. That seems like it would catch the debris, not have splashing, and keep the line spotless.
I appreciate this video ! Great info
How far does the pvc pipe going to a canal? Is there no need for a catch basin then?
Leaves, leaves, leaves
Why not put a 90 of it to go directly into the spout then no splashing
Is this 3 or 4 inch pvc?
was a down angle into the box not an option ?
I've never heard of anyone having a crawl space behind their wall, why would you want to crawl behind a wall?
What kind of issues arise when connecting a downspout directly to the tail end of a channel drain?
Is it possible to run the underground PVC pipe from the downpipe to a soakaway pit rather than to a grate that is in the middle of the lawn?
Brother if you moved that catcher forward more it would work fine
For anyone viewing this video. Currently with inflation. Multiply all he's prices by about 2 or 3. [Depending on the size of the piece your looking at, eg a wye is 25$]
If heavy flows overshoot the basin why not install another A-style downspout elbow directing the water vertically down into the catch basin? Leave a 1.5" air gap so leaves/debris can be cleared by wind or maintenance. This is how rainwater harvesting catch basins work.
Is it worth using a long turn 90 degree elbow instead of the shorter one at downspout-to-drain-pipe, so you get more speed? I'm running triple wall pipe (not pvc) under a walkway so it's buried too deep for water to come up at the other end at a pop-up emitter (so the pipe will have to be a french drain before the pop-up). The yard has a decent gradual slope so water flows okay, but wondered if the long turn elbow might help overall. Then again, the longer elbow might complicate installation?
Finally a great video instruction on how to properly install downspouts
Actually more expensive now 😅
Do I need to put pvc cement?
Hello. Thank you for your video! I want to put this PVC on my 4" round downspout. I was going to hook up a FLEX-Drain 4-in x 25-ft 70-PSI Corrugated Solid Pipe (from Lowes) to it. I thought that would be easier to work with for me than a pvc pipe. My question is, is that as good as PVC and next question is what do I put on end of the pipe? I have no where to run it to without digging into a gravel driveway (which would be very hard for me). Thank you for all your wonderful videos!
Hey Chuck I love your videos! Very interesting to see how differently people do things in different areas. Here in Atlanta and surrounding areas we never use PVC drain lines. We like to use downspout to 4” corrugated adapters and go straight into an n12 adapter with a small section of 4” corrugated. Either wye with clean out, straight coupler, or 45 depending on the situation. Then 6” (or bigger depending on expected flow) N12 smooth interior wall pipe for everything after. We step up progressively as more downspouts or catch basin lines are added in. Works great for us no complaints ever and we have been doing this way for many many years. What are your thoughts on this? Why do you like PVC better? Would love to hear your opinion on PVC vs N12
We have a huge drainage problem in our house. Do you have offices in the Tampa area? How can we contact your company?
Since we moved here we had problems, but now it seems like we live in a swamp when it rains. We are and older couple and we need help, if you do not serve this area, can you recommend an honest contractor?
It should be hooked up to pvc drain
I’ve got nothing at all under downspout. Yikes
This system will eventually get clogged with debris from the roof. The 4” grate/outlet will also let in debris.
You would be better off using a sanitary tee with that 4” grate as a clean out. Otherwise, you wouldn’t know your system is backed up until water was gushing out the gutters (and leading to overhang damage).
❤️❤️🙏🙏
Why would one use a short 90 to turn the flow vs a sweep 90, especially below a cleanout?
Great video Chuck. I want to burry my downspout under the sidewalk that runs adjacent to foundation. Can I have the discharge come out somewhere in the lawn?
Can you use the clean out on the first downspout only if your running them in series to save money? What about the cheaper black pipe. Pvc is outrageous.
Ohhhh…. I worked in a hardware store before and never knew what a cleanout assembly was used for (of course I knew where it was in our store and could direct a customer asking for one to it). Now I know. 👍
Wish we were in the same state, I'd hire you in heartbeat! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I now have the confidence to try to fix my drainage problem.
Is that sch 40 or thin wall pipe?
Do you guys have office in Baltimore, Maryland
Or they could just put another elbow on the bottom and turn the flow down into the catch basin, only about $2.
Why would you use a 90 and not a 45 elbow?
Can you run a downspout drain into the septic tank?
I am going to be doing this come summer this year. I will be putting eaves trough on my house and my neighbor is doing the same. I wanted to install a catch basin under the downspout like first shown in the video so I have an easier way to clean out if need be but the only ones available are the 12×12 for $60. I will be finishing the side of my house walkway with concrete. Would you still recommend hard piping with pvc pipe? In between the houses I will have a center line where the french drain is that will remain gravel so any other water can get into the pipe and be discharged through a curb hole I will be doing. Any thoughts?
