What happens here

As the wall progresses, a drainage pipe (4-inch solid piece of pipe) is installed behind the blocks. This pipe is specifically for managing rainwater from the house's downspout, not for the retaining wall's general drainage. A worker is shown connecting the flexible drainage pipe. Geogrid (or a similar reinforcement material) is laid over the installed blocks and extended back into the excavated area to tie the wall into the hillside for added stability.

Goal: Establish a dedicated drainage system and reinforce the retaining wall structure.

Tools and materials

4-inch Solid Drainage Pipe — Routing downspout water away from the wall
Connector — Connecting sections of the drainage pipe
Geogrid — Reinforcing the retaining wall and tying it into the hillside

[Music] better use my legs and run before it is too late a flea [Music] so this drain tile is not for the retaining wall it's actually for the downspout of the house this will get connected into that downspout so this is a four inch solid piece of pipe as it gets ran separately outside of our drainage zone of the retaining wall we never want to put anything that we don't have to in that drainage zone if it's not directly helping there's a painting wall out
