A catch basin or storm drain is a curbside drain with the sole function of collecting rainwater from our properties and streets and transporting it to local waterways through a system of underground piping, culverts and/or drainage ditches. Storm drains can also be found in parking lots and serve the same purpose.
A catch basin has a grate on top and a drainage pipe that slopes away from the basin. Catch basins help maintain proper drainage and catch debris, which helps prevent pipes downstream from becoming clogged. Water and solids enter the box through the grate. Solids settle to the bottom while water drains out of the pipe.
A good rule of thumb is to have your catch basins cleaned on a yearly basis. That being stated, if you own or operate a business that dumps water and debris into the catch basins on a regular basis, you should have them cleaned more frequently.
about 12 to 18 inches
If the starting location is near a drainpipe, the catch basin will be located about 12 to 18 inches from the foundation, depending on the size of the catch basin. The end of the run should be at least 10 feet away on a decline and farther for flat ground. Move the water as far away from the foundation as possible.
A concrete catch basin costs $2,000 to $5,000 for installation. That price includes all connections and complete installation.
