This yard has a serious flooding problem. Water from the surrounding higher ground keeps draining into the property, leaving the homeowners dealing with standing water and a yard they can’t fully use.
In this video, Robert walks through the massive drainage system French Drain Man installs to permanently take control of the water — including double-pipe French drains, dedicated solid yard-drain lines, multiple catch basins, cleanouts, and a large outdoor sump pump system.
You’ll see:
💧 How the system is designed for extreme water volume
🔵 Why two parallel French drains are double-piped
🕳️ Why catch basins are kept on separate solid pipe
🔀 How multiple drainage lines are tied together
📹 Why cleanouts are built into the system
⚙️ How the large sump chamber reduces pump cycling
🪨 Why stone size matters in different areas of the installation
📏 How clips keep the plumbing straight and properly spaced
🌳 How the system is protected from roots
🏡 How the crew restores the yard after more than 300 feet of trenching
The homeowner had been using a much smaller sump setup and temporary pump arrangement, but it simply took too long to remove the water. This new collection system is built to take water in as fast as it arrives and move it out before it can flood the yard.
Robert’s goal is simple: fix the flooding problem and give the homeowner their yard back.
