I had always worried that leaves and other debris would come thru the downspout into the french drain and clog it which would be especially troublesome during.
Connecting downspouts to french drain.
A french drain is actually a network of pipes laid in trenches dug beneath the ground through which water runoff can flow.
When we recently had a house built for us the contractor directly connected the downspout into a 6 french drain system with the aluminum downspout screwed into the pvc end cap with a rectangular connector the size of the downspout.
Digging the downspout drain lateral is easy and only takes a few minutes.
So this is solid it s all solid and this is a downspout run and that s just going to be in the french drain system.
So maybe you are getting a little tired.
That s a blind inlet guys.
Can a french drain take in gutter downspout water.
Sometime this is done late into your job after the main line has been trenched.
This structure can be attached to your downspouts and will work seamlessly with your existing gutters.
We always isolate and separate the roof water from the french drain system.
This thing s never gonna go anywhere.
All right so while marcello takes care of the strap on the gutter downspouts and trust me guys when you go to these jobs not all the gutter systems are in the best condition.
