I am planning on rerouting the gutter downspouts in front of my house to a 4" pipe that will drain at the driveway. The yard has a natural slope, so I am not worried about pitch. I can use some advice and technical info on the project.
1. Should I use corrugated pipe or rigid PVC? Will corrugated pipe be damaged if it needs to be rodded out due to a clog?
2. Should I do a straight drain or a french drain?
3. There are 4 downspouts that can be routed to the drain pipe. Will a 4" drain pipe handle more than 1 downspout?
4. Any other advice on the project?
Thanks!!
