Hello, this is Tom from Tye Landscaping and today we are going to core and tap a city storm sewer drain pipe. We’ve done this before, but this one is more of a challenge because it’s under the street.

This nice young couple have a big backyard which also has a big problem with standing water. Three of their neighbors are higher than them and all their water is coming to this property. I’ve walked this property with the town engineer and the city will not allow any water to go to the street or even to the front yard. They weren’t lucky enough to have a storm sewer catch basin in the street, so the solution is to capture all that water and run it to the city storm sewer pipe which unfortunately is three feet in the street.

This is the second video of this project. There is a previous video of us locating the pipe. In future videos we will be trenching and installing over 500 feet of pipe. We will be tying in the downspouts, installing dozens of catch basin and inlets plus yard grading and swales. Consider subscribing to our channel so you won’t miss the next videos of us installing this large yard drainage system and other solutions for rain water drainage where you’re not allowed to discharge to the street. Thank you for watching.
