[stoneridge]

A guy who I did a quote and plan, for a drainage system, (4" socked tile, 3/8" gravel,heavy clay, standing water.....).had a trenching company tell him to stay away from the socked tile because of the clay.

His theory was when the clay combines with the water it will clog the sock around the pipe, making it useless.

I explained the purpose of the gravel, the grade of the trench,etc, but I told him I would check into it..

I have never experienced this or ever heard of this.

Anyone have any insight or experience with this "theory"?

Thanks in advance.
