Address Water Issues with Drainage Trench

got to keep the right amount buried and so that's how we create a step down is then we fill up that gap with the rock and then we can bridge over that but enough block stays buried this is what we're finding look behind alex right now look at the deck footings you see how far up those are above the patio those deck puddings were originally set at patio height you can actually see it right behind alex that putting set of patio height and all the ones alongside of them popped out of the ground that's because this water in this trench it freezes and then it thaws and it freezes and thaws but what happens is when it freezes it expands when it thaws it doesn't contract because once it expands as that frost is moving out of the ground the fines from the soil fill it in and continually raise everything up and so what we're going to do is we're going to actually put in dre a drain tile system to mitigate this water because the water in this case you can see is not very far below the ground water table i mean uh around not very far not very deep down [Music] but luckily we've actually got a pond just behind us and we're gonna dig an outlet all the way to the pond [Music] well this house was having some water issues we were just digging to hook up our drain towel and there's just uh lots of trapped water in this thing this might not be trapped it's making its way down here down to this uh runoff area but there was a lot more water trapped in the house than i thought there was got her a little makeshift silt sock down here but yeah she's gushing out of there pretty good
