  After watching Chuck's first video on this, I tried a single vertical drain in a area of my yard that would hold water after heavy rains. It has made a huge difference so far, has worked well for me.

  I used to live in a Florida suburb that had no storm drains near the lowest point in our road. Terrible drainage problems, when it would rain we would have probably 5" of water at the bottom of our driveway. It would actually flood the road too. My dad dug a simple trench drain along the whole length of our property, maybe 7" deep x 50 feet, but the neighbor across the street put in a vertical drain using an empty 55 gallon drum that he filled with stone. Both approaches seemed to work about as well, and it was probably less work to dig one hole than a large trench.

  I just did the vertical drain and definitely works. Less than $12

  This has nothing to do with vertical drains but I just want to give you your props . My yard is graded horribly causes rain to flow under my porch and flood against my house. Found your videos and spent a few days installing 2 speed basins to a sump pit to a drummand 1/2 HP and discharge right to the street it works perfect and I saved thousand. Once my bank account recovers I’ll start on my crawl space with footer tiles . I owe all that know how to your videos.

  Thank you Chuck for your unselfish sharing of tips, tricks &amp; knowledge. I&apos;ve got better than half of my downspouts done from your videos and they&apos;re working great. I&apos;ll also try this water removal method in other parts of the yard for the large puddles. I&apos;m 79, so things go slow. Thanks again.

  You are the man Chuck! You have me advice a couple years on encapsulating a crawl space. It took me a month to get the job done having to use 2 sump pumps but it has made a 100% difference in this home! The homeowner brags about it all the time to his neighbors. I’ll be trying out your vertical technique on the same house this week. Thanks for your expertise!!!

  Ya these work great… they are mini dry wells basically. You are just hoping you reach the sand table for water to drain away easier. Sadly not everyone can reach it

  My wife and I want a French drain but due to multiple plumbing and landscaping issues, we have to wait. These are great ideas that will help with our pooling and spongy areas.

  Wrap the fabric around a piece of 8in pipe and push it into the hole, then pour your rock into the pipe and lift the pipe out of the ground... You have perfectly installed fabric and rock by using the pipe as an installation device
