The importance of Catch Basin Service

Catch basins are an important part of a storm drain system, working to catch garbage, leaves, and other debris and contaminants before they get into the sewer system.

Reddi Services technicians are experienced in a wide variety of storm drain and catch basin service for industrial, commercial, and residential properties.

They drain excess water runoff from roads, parking lots, courtyards, roofs, and other areas where standing water or flooding is a hazard. Like all sewer and plumbing elements, catch basins and storm drains need regular inspection and periodic cleaning or repair to function properly. Our Catch Basin Services include maintenance and regular cleaning of catch basins which avoids costly and dangerous clogs and damage. Keeping the basin clear of debris protects the sewer and outfall from contaminants.

Plugs cause runoff water to pool, leading to costly flooding of homes and businesses, and creating a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects that carry disease, such as West Nile virus. Proper maintenance and cleaning keeps catch basins compliant with city, state, and federal code requirements.

Reddi Services technicians are experienced in a wide variety of catch basin and storm drain services for industrial, commercial, and residential properties. We perform assessments, planning, and installation of catch basins in new building projects, keeping property owner’s code compliant. The EPA recommends catch basins be inspected once a year — the basins often need to be cleaned 1-2 times per year, or more frequently in some heavy-use industrial areas. Dirt, debris, grease, and other contaminants are cleaned out of the basin, drain structures and lines with specialized equipment and removed to an approved facility for processing. After initial inspection and cleaning, Reddi Services can recommend a preventive service schedule based on volume of sediment and debris found.

Catch Basin Services remove sediment and solids high in heavy metals & petroleum hydrocarbons, garbage and debris.
