How Our Catch Basin Cleaning Process Works

Our technicians follow a defined four-step method that is designed for both commercial and municipal drainage system maintenance. The goal is simple: restore capacity, verify performance, and document what we find so you can plan ahead with confidence.

• Emptying the basin by removing collected debris and refuse that has accumulated over time. We use vacuum truck services and hand tools as needed to remove sediment, trash, leaves, and other material from the basin.
• Cleaning the basin by scrubbing debris from the ground and walls. Technicians dislodge compacted buildup so the structure can accept and move water as designed.
• Checking the drainage to ensure it's free of debris and blockages. We confirm outlet pipes and connected storm drain lines are open so water can flow away from the surface.
• Cleaning or replacing the cover or grate if necessary. We clean grates and covers and can recommend replacement when damage or corrosion is present.

During every visit, our team performs a complete inspection of your catch basin to look for cracks, leaks, and other signs of potentially serious damage that could compromise capacity or create sinkholes. After inspection and cleaning, the basin is prepared to handle water flow during the next storm, and you receive documentation that supports operational planning and stormwater management records.
