Welcome to the French Drain Man channel. We're going go over grade elevations today. I am going to tell you how and where you can go to get those. This is a plot plan you asked for it at your building department. You can also go to your water and sewer department and they'll have separate maps regarding the drainage in your neighborhood. I'm going to show you how easy it is to read a plot plan so that you the homeowner, or if you're a contractor and you're still trying to find your way with this kind of stuff, we're going to keep it simple.

So pretty easy once you get your bearings, pretty easy, you got the lot next door to the left and the right. So there's some information given. And then you find your way to the street.
Let's get to an elevation number and we'll start to go over what they mean. We have an elevation of 977.8. Why is the number so big? What's going on here? So that is an elevation that's 977.8 feet. That's really important to know what these units are. It's in feet, it's 977 .8 feet above sea level. That's why the number is such a large number. When people first look at a plot plan, they have no idea what these numbers mean. So that's why I just wanted to shoot this video to help everybody out. [...]
