Installing Drainage Under The Patio!
What happens here
Connect any existing downspouts from the house's gutter system directly into the drainage pipe. Use a downspout adapter and a PVC elbow to ensure a tight connection with the solid PVC pipe. This integration directs roof runoff directly into the drainage system, preventing it from saturating the soil around the foundation. The video shows a downspout connecting to a 90-degree elbow that merges with the main drainage line.
Goal: Integrate roof downspouts into the new drainage system.
