Installing Drainage Under The Patio!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin by assessing the project scope and gathering all necessary materials. The main components include perforated PVC pipe for water collection, solid PVC pipe for discharge, geotextile drainage fabric, and clean stone (gravel). Ensure you have the appropriate connectors such as couplings, Y-connectors, and 90-degree elbows for the PVC pipes. Tools like a reciprocating saw for cutting pipe, PVC primer and cement for bonding, shovels for digging, a mini skid steer for moving dirt and stone, a measuring tape, and a grade laser/locator for setting pipe slope are essential. The video shows workers moving long sections of perforated pipe into the work area.

Goal: Understand the drainage system components and prepare materials for installation.

Tools and materials

  • Clean Stone — Providing drainage around the perforated pipes
  • Geotextile Drainage Fabric — Lining trenches to prevent soil intrusion into the pipes
  • Grade Laser/Locator — Ensuring the correct slope for effective water drainage
  • Measuring Tape — Measuring pipe lengths and trench dimensions
  • Mini Skid Steer Dingo TX-1000 — Heavy-duty excavation and material handling
  • Perforated PVC Pipe — Collecting water from around the foundation
  • PVC 90-degree Elbows — Making sharp turns in the pipe system
  • PVC Cement — Permanently bonding PVC pipe sections and fittings
  • PVC Couplings — Connecting straight sections of PVC pipe
  • PVC Primer — Preparing pipe surfaces for strong cement bonds

morning [Music] everybody I sh my love [Music] you I do you think it be cost eff to make our own probably how do you think they do it you think so man it's hard to say I don't know how they but it's but it's less material maybe it's cheaper yeah yeah they probably form it like I don't think they cut it out they form I'm looking I see one hole on one side it's got holes on both sides think go down in here oh a they're gray they're my new work shoes they're about to be brown yeah I have my boots in the truck just in case good call I got new pants Costco got it yep it's my favorite ones all right we got two different kinds of pipe here we have some perforated pipe you see right here called Sunday pipe why cuz it's holy okay we got our Sunday that's funny I like that we got our Sunday pipe here and uh we got our solid pipe so we're going to have a perforated system over here underneath the patio that's going to collect the water and then it's going to discharge it out and as it goes towards the popup emitter that's going to be solid pipe so we need a nice good bit of clean Stone all the way around that perforated pipe so that we don't have any of that dirt and clogging stuff getting into our system but uh then once we get to that solid pipe we can just back fill with dirt and that's just going to be a transportation device for that water that is collected so plus we got to hook up a couple down spouts we got a lot of stuff to do
