ovg, My only concern with that 9x9 drain is that it might not collect as much water as a longer thinner drain. My entire back (about 20 feet) slope towards the house. I feel like I should have a 20 foot 6 inch channel grate kit installed. If I installed the 9x9, should I need to slope all the...

OG, I am going to lay down 2 foot by 2 foot pavers as a walkway after I rip out out the concrete walkway. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Pavestone-24-in-x-24-in-Grey-Concrete-Step-Stone-73700/100343499 If I dig a trench, I will use concrete sand. I have ADS slotted pipe and a sock for the pipe if...

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to have to take out the sidewalk since it slants towards the house. I'll pull the entire garden out next month if you think it will help. cvg, are you saying I should get something like this...

Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to attach more than 1 picture. I'm going to send 6 more posts with pictures.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4e6c6010-1190-4977-a4d4-fd2deb6071bb&file=20160809_093251_resized.jpg

My tiny backyard slopes down towards the back of my house. I have a basement stair case with a cinder block wall. There is an aluminum awning over the basement stairs. I put a gutter on the awning to redirect water to my driveway because the side of my house slopes away from the foundation. This...

OG, Good thing nobody ran into it. I'm going to put some side rails on my flat bed and use tie downs to secure it. I few gravel/sand companies near Baltimore will only load dump trucks. One place said I needed a hard hat and safety vest. I'm going to start with 1/2 ton and go back when I need...

OG, To be on the safe side, I'll cover the ADS pipe with the sock that is designed to go over the pipe. I've already contacted a few suppliers that have the ASTM C-33 sand. They will load a half ton on my flat bed trailer and I'll start hauling it down to my basement. We had a lot of rain...

OG, I spoke with a couple of people from ADS and they were unable to give me the specs on the hole sizes of the fine slot pipe. They call it the knife slit because that's what it looks like. They also said they never shipped it to the North-East. They said it sold mostly in the mid-west for...

OG, Are you saying the regular ADS slotted pipe is fine? Would the ADS Fine slotted pipe that's designed for sand be better or is it not necessary? I'm assuming the regular slotted perforated ADS pipe would allow some sand to enter the pipe but would eventually stop as the sand packed...

oldestguy, Thanks for the reply and info. If I use the concrete sand, should I also use the washed stone or just fill the trench with a few inches of concrete sand and lay the slotted 4 inch ADS pipe on top, then fill the trench with more sand until I get to the top of the footer (the slab...

I read the info from the following link. http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=247327 Lots of good info that I haven't seen anywhere else. I like the oldestguy's postings along with the others. I watched lots of videos from this guy who specializes in basement drain systems and he never...
