Hey fellas. I need some advice on replacing a grey drain water pipe. The pipe only contains the washing machine and garage sink effluent. The pipe is 2" PVC coming out under my home and then is tied to a 3" corrugated drainage pipe under my back patio and into the back yard. I suppose I'll dig with a rented Deere 110tlb Diesel and tie into the drainage pipe as it exits the concrete patio. My plan is to tie into the drainage pipe with this Shop FLEX-Drain 25' Perforated Drain Pipe with Sock at Lowes.com I plan on lining the trench with drainage rock or some sort of cheap gravel.
How long of a run should I lay? I've got several acres so no problem there.
Should I use some sort of drain fabric under the gravel even with the sock?
What type of rock should I use?
Any other suggestions/wisdom?
