My first attempt with a smaller drain couldn't handle the volume of water coming into our back yard. So, I poured a concrete drain basin and doubled my out let pipes to 2 - 4" pipes. I also dug a 600 gallon (when empty) capacity overflow hole and installed rain basins and backfilled w stone.

  • I dug out, framed and poured the catch basin myself w concrete. The metal grate came free from my dad's steel fabrication business. Got lucky w that. They can get really expensive and I needed something custom. Are you building something similar?

  • Our house was at a pretty low location. I followed the gushing water one time to find that it was collecting from about 10 different sources, so there was no way I was gonna prevent it. I just had to deal with it and rectify the situation as best I could. And I did! And yes, It was a mess before I did that. It used to fill up our entire yard like a pond and overflow into the neighbor's yard. It never did after I installed this system.

  • where did you find the catch basin and grate ?

  • Where is all that water coming from? An overflowing river? That must have made a mess in the past.
