I received this name from a friend who was very happy with their job. I contacted them mid- morning Friday for a toilet that kept running. They told me they would be here between 1-4.Elvis arrived – punctual, professional, respectful and such a lovely person. He explained all about my toilet, as they are all different, and told me what had to be done. Of course I went ahead. He worked quickly, cleanly and at reasonable price. He checked the replaced part twice to make sure it was operating properly. Make sure you make note of this company and phone number. You will be very glad you did.

Thank you Elvis for a great job. You guys are terrific.

Very happy with the work that I done today to fix some issues that were causing a nuisance. Elvis did an amazing job. He was prompt, thorough, kind and explained his process in detail which I appreciate very much as a first time home owner who doesn't know a whole lot about plumbing/home repairs. Would highly recommend and I'm keeping the contact information saved in case of future needs (I hope that won't be the case) Thanks Elvis!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Mika, for such a great review. It was a pleasure for us to read it! Thanks for the recommendations as well.

What is a Catch Basin?

Also known as a storm drain, a catch basin is a drain found in yards or by the curb of your house that filters debris from entering the storm sewer. Leaves and litter flow into the catch basin along with water and rest on the bottom, while the water drains out at a higher level, leaving all the debris behind. Catch basin maintenance ensures that these drains don’t get clogged and cause overflowing and flooding around your property.

Catch Basin Cleaning

No doubt you’ve seen a catch basin clogged with leaves and debris during heavy rain and the whole street was flooded as a result. That’s why catch basin cleaning is incredibly important. If those clogs become too severe, that water can back up into your basement. Additionally, because the water is backing up all the way from the drain to your home, you run the risk of damage to the foundation of your home and even sinkholes.

When doing lawn and yard maintenance, remember to never deposit leaves over the catch basin and try not to park your car over one either as both will limit the drain’s ability to function properly. Removing the built-up sand, litter, and debris is necessary for a properly functioning catch basin.

FAQs

1. What is catch basin cleaning and why is it important?

Catch basin cleaning involves removing debris, sediment, leaves, and other buildup from the catch basin so water can flow freely into the storm drain system. When catch basins are clogged, water can pool on streets, sidewalks, and driveways, increasing the risk of flooding and water damage to your property. Regular cleaning helps restore proper drainage and prevents standing water issues.

2. How often should a catch basin be cleaned?

The frequency depends on how much debris accumulates, but industry guidelines recommend at least once a year, and many professionals suggest cleaning every season or after heavy leaf fall. More frequent cleaning may be needed if there is a lot of nearby foliage or sediment buildup.

3. What are the signs that a catch basin needs cleaning?

Visible debris around the grate, slow drainage during rainfall, and water backing up around the basin are common signs that cleaning is needed. If water sits around the catch basin after a storm instead of draining away, it’s time to schedule a professional service.

4. Can neglecting catch basin cleaning cause problems for my property?

Yes. If catch basins are not cleaned, clogs can lead to surface flooding, damage to pavement and landscaping, and even water infiltration into basements. Blocked basins also fail to trap pollutants effectively, which can harm local waterways and create health and environmental concerns.

5. Do professionals handle everything during a catch basin cleaning service?

Professional services include inspecting the basin, removing accumulated debris with specialized equipment, and ensuring water can flow properly into the storm drainage system. Technicians also check for any issues that might require repair, helping prevent future problems and keeping your drainage system functioning as intended.
