What is a catch basin? How does it work?
What's blocking my catch basin?
Various types of debris can block your catch basin and prevent it from working effectively. Common types of debris include branches and leaves, dirt, garbage, shop waste, and small rocks or gravel left behind:
- Leaves and branches can quickly accumulate in catch basins, especially during fall when trees shed their leaves or after a windstorm. This can lead to blockages that can cause water to back up and flood nearby areas.
- Dirt and sediment can also accumulate in catch basins, especially in areas with construction activities. When wet it can form a mound or barricade like pile that can restrict water flow accumulating a debris blockage.
- Garbage is another common cause of blockages in catch basins. It can be accidentally or intentionally thrown into the catch basin, causing significant damage to the drainage system.
- Shop waste, such as excess materials, oil and grease, can also build up in catch basins, causing pollution and affecting the quality of water in our waterways.
- Debris left behind after a car wash, such as soap and chemicals, can also accumulate in catch basins and cause pollution.

How often should I get my catch basin emptied?
The frequency of catch basin pumping or storm drain pumping depends on several factors, such as the location of the catch basin and the amount of debris it typically collects. A catch basin located in an area with heavy traffic and large volumes of runoff water will require more frequent pump outs than a catch basin in a quieter residential area. Along with car wash catch basins because they often see daily usage. It's often recommended to have your catch basin sucked out at least once a year to ensure proper functionality.
