FAQ
What is a catch basin used for?
Catch basins collect surface water from driveways, patios, and low spots in yards, directing it into underground drainage.
Where should a catch basin be installed?
They’re typically placed below unfiltered downspouts or in low-lying areas where water naturally pools. We evaluate grading to choose the right location.

Yes. They should be cleaned periodically to remove leaves and sediment. We design systems with sump cleanouts for easy upkeep.
