Our House Is Flooding

This springs torrential downpours have repeatedly flooded the crawlspace in our house. This is a major issue that needs to be tackled this week while we have the rental machines here that are capable of completing the task. While we work on installing a new drainage system we will also be over seeing deliveries of attachments and dumpsters to prepare for the next big task- demolishing a house.

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

On the next drain tile you do, it helps to put landscape cloth on top of the stone before back filling the dirt. We usually use landscape cloth on the whole drain. Dig the ditch, line it with the cloth, throw pipe in, then stone and then wrap the cloth around the stone, like a burrito !

My first time commenting. My husband and I are retired educators. We moved permanently to our vacation condo in Sunset Beach, NC when Covid set in. We found your channel on KZfaq during this time and we have fallen in love with your “story”! We are currently building a house here in Sunset Beach and we follow several KZfaq builders, but your family is by far our favorite. You cannot know how much your videos meant to us as we were “staying” in during the pandemic. Your children are precious, your husband amazingly smart and you are an exceptional mom, wife, and worker! Thank you for keeping us entertained with such high quality, down to earth, real-life stories! Please do not change your style or your videography! We are constantly sharing your KZfaq with family and friends.

How bizarre! I've just this past weekend completed putting in a French drainage system in my garden, I've lived here 15yrs and suddenly with all the rain we had earlier this year we found our property kept on flooding it turns out we have a natural spring deep under the foundations and with all the rain it's the first time I've seen it fill up and come to the surface where it just keeps on flooding the garden etc. Only difference is i had to do everything by hand with a spade and wheelbarrow!!! Damn hard graft!! As always guy's 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

But when they got @9 inches of rain in 24 hours the west side started flooding. So another French drain is going in. You guys are getting hammered with rain this year. Here in Southern California we’ve only had 4 inches in over a year. Send some of that rain this way!
