RE: Question about pitch of underground drainage pipe. The big 120 ft drain with 3 gutter spouts in it remains almost flat (maybe 4-6 inches of downward pitch - tops) for the first 85 ft or so. The last section is where it starts to pitch downward (another foot or so).
Use the line level to make sure the string is perfectly parallel to the ground. Next, measure the length of the string and calculate how much slope you will need. Using the above example of a 25 foot gutter run, the correct slop is 5/8 of an inch. So for that project you should take the end of the string (where the downspout will be) and lower it exactly 5/8 of an inch, then reattach it.
