Do I Need A Catch Basin On My Property?


A catch basic is responsible for making sure that debris doesn’t enter a storage basin or a sewage pipe. They are also a primary component of landscape drainage systems. There are many different sizes of catch basins. In landscaping, you can have them installed to help prevent standing water. The angled inlet of a catch basin directs water into the drain. Meanwhile the heavy metal grate of a catch basin filters out debris like fallen leaves or even trash brought near the drain by wind.
Still, catch basin can do any combination of functions. They can catch, hold and filter runoff water from the lawn. They can also catch, hold and filter water from around the house. They can also do the same for gutter water.  off surfaces and out of the gutters. You can find catch basins in homes and businesses that use both public and private water-conveyance systems.
In homes, a catch basin might cost less than $100. Many catch basin aren’t expensive at all when used for residential purposes.
You’ll know you may need a catch basin or even a dry well, if any of these conditions exist:

  • Standing water in your yard
  • Grass that stays saturated
  • Excess mosquitoes
  • Water accumulates in the basement or garage after heavy rains
