In this video we’re going to show you how to install a perforated pipe french drain DIY the way contractors do. We’re going to dig out a bunch of soil, haul all the dirt away, then we’re going to fill that trench full of stone. We’re going to put in some corrugated perforated pipe and we’re going to create a path where the water can travel.

Hi how to prevent the tree root to get into the pipe
Tks!!
Thank you very much this ie the most helful video even ever i have seen
Difference between thevwhite and blue pipes tjs!
Just finishing my foundation footer French drain around my house on the lake today. That Michigan clay is no joke! Took all damn summer, but thanks to you it was a DIY. Thanks brother
Why 3 white pipes?
Depth of tranch
Why aren't everyone doing it this way?
I recently put in two French drains following these methods and they are working great! Mine are open french drains covered in rock not sod but I followed the advise of The French Drain man. It was a lot of hard work as I did it by myself but this system makes the most sense. I scoured the internet for information for a couple months before deciding what to do and in my opinion there is no one that seems to know what they're doing more than The French drain man!
Very nice job, as always. A lot of common sense is used in all your applications. Your crew is phenomenal!! They all work in a synchronicity that is so efficient. Thanks for all your videos. Great content & information.
Did you tie one of those pipes into the storm drain or how did you do that?
Wish they had a contractor in the South with the level of knowledge, experience and professionalism that FDM has. Another outstanding video. Thanks for posting.
I live in the country and have a 2 acre backyard that is clay soil and is wet. I have no drainage ditch or storm drain to connect to. How do I discharge the water? I'm surrounded by farm field on 3 sides of my property .
You used to preach using large diameter round rock.
Why are you using pea gravel on this job?
Why did y’all use fine stone rather than the larger like your other videos?
Looks like should be called the Mexican drain guy this is the reason American males 18-24 are struggling to make ends meet I've been around long enough and worked on enough crews to know exactly what's going on it's just like the landscapers they only need one guy to speak English that's how they can underbid everybody by 10K
Great video and great information, thank you. Are those Start Mats that you're using? My property makes this site look like a dessert!! : ) I appreciate all of the information you share, and the links to the supplies are extremely helpful as well.
How does water stay in the pipe with all the holes?
So I have a similar issue across my backyard, but we don't have any sort of storm drain to terminate a french drain into. What would your recommendation be for that situation? Dig a well 4-6 feet in diameter and maybe 6 feet deep and fill it with stone?
Hi. Ive never done this kind of work in my life but for some reason, the way you do edits, voice overs, your intros…even the way you encourage your team…made me want to watch from start to end. Excellent work and thank you for posting this man. GBY
I purchased your complete system for our property. One question, we do no not have sod or grass, is it appropriate to put some dirt back onto the top of the fabric?
Can your drive over a French drain like this?
Is a system like recommended for a gravel parking pad?
Do you have any thoughts on how the drainage fabric and perforated pipe would perform in very sandy soil here in florida?
Where do you take the dirt?
What type of warranty comes with your drain system?
I like how the Gentleman with the yellow knit cap does his rich man dance to pack the stone down…
