A catch basin should be installed in various locations around your property to prevent water damage, pooling, and other water-related issues. In fact, it’s best to have a catch basin installed in:
- Low Points in the Yard
- Downspout Locations
- Driveways and Walkways
- Patios and Decks
As time passes, catch basins, also called storm drains, can deteriorate, become clogged, and even crack. To ensure your property is safe from excessive flooding, turn to Rooter Ranger.
We provide catch basin cleaning and repair services throughout Arizona and Nevada, including Scottsdale, Phoenix, Sun City, Tucson, and Las Vegas. Contact us today to set up an appointment.
Signs You Need Catch Basin Repair Services
Since catch basins are installed underground, it can be difficult to notice signs that they need to be repaired. After years of service, we’ve noticed the most common problems that plague homeowners.
Call Rooter Ranger for quick storm drain repair services if you notice any of the following signs:
- Standing Water Around the Basin
- Slow Drainage
- Visible Cracks or Damage
- Erosion Around the Basin
- Sinking or Settling of the Basin
- Rust or Corrosion on Metal Parts
- Water Backing Up onto Property
We Repair Specific Problems for Catch Basins
Your catch basin can experience numerous issues, from excessive rust to cracks and dents. Our sewer plumbing experts can effectively fix all problems with your catch basin, including:
- Cracks and Dents: Depending on the severity of the damage, we can apply a concrete patching compound for small cracks or replace damaged sections of the basin.
- Rust and Corrosion: We remove corroded or damaged metal grates or frames and replace them with new ones that will stand the test of time.
- Erosion: We can fill eroded areas around the catch basin with soil or gravel to stabilize the ground and prevent future erosion.
- Sinking: If your basin has sunk, we can dig around it to expose the base, lift it to the desired level, add a stable base of gravel or sand, and reset the basin.
Keep Your Catch Basin Clean
Without routine catch basin cleaning services, your street and yard may flood, and your water may be contaminated. While it’s possible to clean out your basin with a shovel, it may not be enough.
Our plumbers rely on industrial-grade equipment to thoroughly clean your basin. We use tools such as plumbing cameras to inspect any build-up, and hydro jets and vacuum pumps to safely remove all water and debris from your basin.
You should get storm drain cleaning services at least once a year to prevent your basin from becoming overwhelmed and breaking down.
