What Are Catch Basins

Catch basins are drainage systems that collect and store stormwater runoff and other water from outdoor sources, and are frequently installed in the low points of fields, lawns, or paved areas.
Function
Catch basins collect water and debris, and direct it to a storm sewer or drainage system. They allow solids to settle and light materials to float, which helps remove pollution. They also help prevent flooding and erosion. The water is then directed to a storm sewer or drainage system that leads to nearby water bodies.
Location
Catch basins are commonly found in parking lots, on streets, and in residential and commercial areas.
Maintenance
Catch basins need to be regularly maintained to keep them free of debris and to reduce the chances of flooding. You can inspect your catch basin every three months to check sediment and floating oil levels. You should also clean your catch basin annually using a qualified company.

Catch basins are also known as storm drains, storm sewers, surface water drains, or stormwater drains.

  This place is amazing for your needs. I have bought drainage supplies from them and last week I needed some materials for a municipal water line. They didn't have it but they kindly directed to me another supplier that did. Without their help I would not have got the job done.

  Love this place and I always enjoy the reception I get from the others and patrons. This is the store  provides all of the special fittings for my irrigation setups. There's not a problem they can't fix for you in that respect but they are so much more.

  Picked up some 3" big O pipe with fittings and explored the store. Amazing selection of great quality agricultural and landscape products. Both this and my previous experience with Kyle and other staff has been outstanding. It was almost an 80 minute drive for me but knowing I can get things there that I probably cannot find to many other places and the food staff I will come back as the need arises and will refer others when I can.

  This is a well run business with polite, professional staff willing and able to answer any questions regarding piping, fittings landscape material... the list is long.  The inventory of various fittings, culvert and piping is extensive... nothing in the area like this business. Kyle is a keen manager who ensures everyone is treated well and gets what they need... he knows his product lines well.  George knows his pipe fittings and is able to draw from an extensive knowledgeable background to satisfy any configuration.

  For starters, great phone reception from Julia - friendly and knowledgeable. I placed an order for a truck load of mulch to be delivered on a Friday afternoon but we were not going to to be home at the time. I laid a tarp on my driveway with bricks to keep it in place.  I requested the load be dumped on one side of the tarp so when I got home I could fold it over the mulch because rain was forecasted. I actually got a call from Moe, the driver, telling me that my tarp was a bit too small to cover all the mulch. He came up with the idea to "borrow" a tarp I had on my old utility  trailer to cover the rest of the load. When I got home I found my mulch completely covered with bricks spread all over the tarps.  Who does that in this day and age? Amazing service!  I am for sure buying from these guys again!
