This homeowner bought this beautiful home back in the mid 80’s. He didn’t know there was a well camouflaged culvert pipe behind his property. The discharge was hidden by overgrown trees and brush. In the past he only got water when there was a heavy rain. After he complained numerous times the town came and put down the rip rap. Which only slowed the water down and spread it out over a larger area. After the rip rap was installed he started getting water in his pool area and washing out the landscaping there, but the town considered that a fix. Recently, the neighbor across the street cleared the woods in their front yard and installed a lawn. Now every time they irrigate their lawn our customer’s lawn get saturated. In this video we do some grading on the town’s right of way, we install a catch basin and we start installing our 12 inch culvert pipe. Part 2 coming soon. Thank you for watching our family working together

Although it is irritating not being able to connect to the existing culvert pipe, the set up that you have done does allow for some water to soak back into the ground in dry periods so could be beneficial in the long run. It would be great to see this flowing in heavy rain.
You two are the best. I would think the town would be a little more responsive but that's Govt for you. How much water goes down on the neighbor's lawn? This is really a tough job, but you are going to push right through. Can't wait for part two.
Pretty big project. Good the town was helpful. They could have regraded the ditch. Clearing the trees. Let the water run down the side of the road. So much cost to the home owner. Looking forward to part 2. Cheers. Your crew needs a Jerry. 😅🐱🐭😂.
They are installing a catch basin or dry well? Cant be a tied in catch basin without going into the street, right?
Who is paying for this? The customer or the town?
Thanks!
Big job, what a waste of water in this time of shortage of water, don’t you have restrictions in times of drought?
Your homeowner couldn’t ask for a better team to solve their problem.
Concrete buggies on tracks would awesome for hauling dirt away.
Looks like your machinery might have been a bit undersized for that berm work ( but great for yard work ), I hope you don’t have a problem with your catch basin being to small with that amount of water..I might have used a larger concrete one with larger grate.
It's ridiculous that the township wouldn't allow you to tie into the culvert pipe . True professionals that you are you overcome these obstacles . See you next video .
Your team does very nice work. i really enjoy the videos. Cant wait to see Part 2.
Looking forward to part 2! Gonna be getting some rain Sunday into Monday for the first time in a very long time!
Yeaaa you're back🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉😂 this is a shame the city is putting the owner through so much to say nothing of the lawn sprinkler owner. Here in Texas we are going through a drought and it is a major fine if you use a sprinkler of any kind for your lawn, hand watering once a week. I am so glad that Tye is there to help and find a solution for this ugly problem 🎉🎉😂😂. Keep up the great work❤❤❤ waiting for part 2 happily. Lone Star State
Is the large black drainage pipe sealed to the catch basin? I didn’t see anything connecting it to keep water from going around the pipe. You guys do such good work I must have missed it or it just didn’t get filmed. Keep up the good work, love your solutions to unusual problems
I can see you are doing the best you can but this solution is absolutely insane.
1. This is the towns responsibility to fix – at their cost.
2. Not allowing you to tie into the existing pipe is pure insanity. Why let water go that then needs to be re-caught. Stupidity.
3. Their solution at the street is equally stupid.
This town is run by idiots.
Would love to see the water bill from the uphill neighbor! Nice lawn, but I'm sure it costs them!
Its really dumb on the towns part, if you don't have sewers you have to have a ditch on both sides, now just catch and push it to the next neighbor instead of dispersing the water.
I had a problem very similar, the property to the north filled the ditch between us and raised there land as well, filled the entire acre with gravel and pavement causing my yard to flood killing dozens of trees and veering 15 acres of runoff into my acre and 1/2. This was noted over 30 years ago not to do but new owners did it anyway.
It is a commercial property that is required storm water management, city did nothing, @sswholes.
So last summer I cut all the trees down on the north side and built a berm 17ft high 35ft wide 150ft long. We had so much rain this summer, it was great, THEY FLOODED NOT FROM ANY WATER FROM ME BUT FROM THERE OWN STUPIDITY. They now deal with there own and 6 acres of allot of it being paved, f4ck with the bull you get the horns.
That guy should have built a berm and then all the neighbors would have bitched and the town would have been forced to do there job.
A nice ditch type stream rubber line would have given them a nice water feature.
That neighbor is psychotic with the irrigation. I'm sure they are pytting at least an inch of water per day in that lawn.
I'm surprised the removal of the trees and regrading didn't trigger the need for stormwater management.
That neighbor is using too much water if he filled that hole up overnight. I have other questions, but will wait for part 2,to see if you answered any of them.
I would just block that pipe.
I watched this yesterday, but had nothing worth posting, but couldn't stop thinking about the source of the water. I can't believe the town would take water from one side of a road and send it to the other side and aim it directly at a private property. The other thing that's amazing is the amount of water from the neighbor's irrigation. Did your customer ever speak to a lawyer about the town's responsibility for the open pipe?
Can't wait to see part III.
They should have passed the problem back onto the City by replacing the wire mesh fence with a solid concrete boundary wall😂😂
I have a very similar problem. Township here is useless. Did the culvert exist before the house or was it newly installed? Ok so this isn't new. They changed the lot across the street and probably regraded it. Same exact problem here. Funny enough the township let the new business across the street to tie into the culvert with zero fs given for those of us across the street. Sadly you can't sue anyone and just are forced to pay lots of money to fix it. Sadly neither of us affected have the money to do anything about it.
This neighbor is insane with the sprinkler. If they have public water the water bill must be outrageous.
Great video! What’s the advantage of using a catch basin with a dry well rather than just a catch basin to grab the water that’s coming out of that culvert pipe going downhill
Wow!! What a mess and you guys always have the best solution! Civil Engineers at their finest! Look forward to Part 2!!

I think the home owner needs to get some 12in balloons 🎈 and have a party in that culvert pipe
That almost seems illegal what the town did, putting an open pipe aimed at someone’s house like that.
