As a Contractor years ago We would solve many similar issues for Costumers. Without seeing the project close up and walking it and shooting elevations I'll take a shot from experience at a distance. On one occasion the we installed a Built in place Trench drain,(pre-precast), by forming the...

In the Handle which has a twist lock open and close you'll usually find some bits for reaming and even some small drill bits. Hand drill/reamer of small holes. An old school hand tool way before today's cordless power tools. Usually made by Stanley among a few others. LtF

I picked up a couple sets last year from Eastwood near me. They sell on Amazon also. LtF

We always used Sonneborn NP-1, Self Leveling and the Non Self Leveling at the ends to stop it from Running out! It Lasts a long Time and Very Professional! LtF

Mat, As far as the Compactor that you use you have to be careful not to over compact the fill close to the line and I suggest at least a foot of fill on top of the line for a type of protective cushion if you will. I like the Idea of the Filter Fabric to separate the Stone from contaminating...

I understand extending the Antenna wire But Why would I wrap my LED bulbs in tinfoil? BS!!! Ltf

In my Garage I've Converted all my Fluorescent lights to LED type fluorescent lights and theirs no issue with all 3 openers! LtF

Keeping a handle on the Humidity and monitoring it as well as Trying to Control it is important. Air Flow helps a lot to control Humidity and eliminate stagnant air holding moisture. I control and manage mine here in Ohio all 4 seasons and it really helps a lot in every aspect considered. Each...

Intake and exhaust are supposed to be separated as per that reason. Fumes, Safety. If there's any way to separate those two for Safety sake wouldn't be a Bad Idea. I know it probably adds more work to what the solution is to your problem and the answer that your looking for but Carbon Monoxide...

If you can pump the Water table down and remove MOST of the Water/Moisture in the trench and you can backfill with semi dry sandy/clay soil that you have as it'll somewhat protect the line as much as possible. A sleeve as someone suggested earlier over the new line to prevent future possible...

For all my garage Door opener I went back to the Original Rough Service Light Bulbs! (Vibration resistant) LED'S Interfere with the Signal some How!!! LtF

Opinion; For me as I've stated before with 3 large Bays and all having their own Crock style old school Drains in the middle with proper drainage in each. As We pull our vehicles into either Bay from outdoors weather it's Snow, Rain, etc.............It's never a problem as ALL water Drains...

Where does code tell you to tie them into? Storm? Sanitary? If you have neither, French Drain? LtF

That's because Modern home-owner Garages are cheaply built and it costs $$ to do it! Us old school guy's always did it the right way with Floor Drains! JMO!!! LtF

As a Successful Contractor and always helping Customers out trying to answer their questions Professionally and looking at their projects how I would do it if it we're mine was always a major concern. Estimating and understanding what the customer wanted and needed was a very big part of my...

A lot of Good suggestions here. Was an Excavating Contractor for several years with a lot of Concrete work Experience. Not sure where your at but total Moisture Rainfall/Snow per year and what your total weather is year round means a lot. Looks like a great site, location, that you picked out...

Done it more times in business than I care to try to remember. Yes ! Saw cut around the perimeter a few inches away and we always made a second cut about 4-6 inches away from that so two parallel saw cuts depending on the condition of the job and work to be done as this would determine the need...

I probably didn't explain myself properly as I didn't suggest Tyvek in this application, I only referenced it on exterior walls above grade. My Bad ! LtF

Here in Ohio, just North of you we get all kinds of weather including humid summers and rain and snow in winter. My point is we've learned a long time ago that a Vapor Barrier is good in the Right Application. Under a Concrete Slab, (especially), but not below grade on a Block Basement Wall...

It's really just a preventative maintenance suggestion if you really want to know. Stinky water or not, that's just one reason to not only replace the Anode Rod but replace it with the electric Anode Rod @$120-140 Bucks to solve the Stinky water, Sulpher Smell. Otherwise @ about $40 bucks the...
