Catch Basins Should Be Cleaned Regularly

Regularly scheduled vacuuming of sediment found in catch basins is good for the environment and helps prevent flooding, pavement degradation and storm water runoff contamination.

Routine catch basin cleaning or storm drain clean-out is vital to keep water flowing into storm drains and to prevent standing water and puddles that can damage parking lot and street surfaces. By professionally cleaning your storm water catch basin, to prevent dirt, sand, trash, and other debris from entering your catch basin’s lateral drains, you can ensure the proper function of drainage systems and prevent storm sewer back-ups that cause flooding.

Each year, countless parking lots and roads are damaged – and many business and residential flooding has occurred – which could have been avoided with proper catch basin cleaning. You may be observing slow-moving stormwater drainage, pooling or back-ups. Or, because what is out of sight is out of mind, you simply haven’t had your stormwater catch basin serviced recently. Adding catch basin cleaning to your stormwater management and your preventative maintenance schedule will help you avoid clogged pipes, blockages, and damages from unexpected, extreme weather.  Contact us at 1-800-SWEEPER to service your parking lot catch basin cleaning!
