How Does a Catch Basin Clog?

Catch basins are intended to hold leaves, dirt, and debris traveling with rain run-off on the surrounding ground. By keeping these foreign materials out of the outlet pipe it prevents overflow during heavy periods of rain.

A clog can happen when smaller materials like food wrappers, plastics, other common litter, and dirt get washed into the basin. Over time this material can accumulate and cause the connection to the sewer to clog. Resulting in the water not being able to drain and causing the basin to overflow.

Another common reason catch basins clog is a lack of maintenance. Without proper cleaning, a clog can cause water to flood the surrounding area causing health and safety hazards for vehicles or pedestrians. Scheduling preventative maintenance on catch basins is one way to avoid injury caused by negligence. Trouble Shooters recommends that businesses clean out their catch basins at least every 2 years.

Still experiencing issues after a catch basin cleaning?

We often get called in when a catch basin has been pumped but there is still water overflowing. This is because the company that vacuumed out the basin didn’t also power flush the connection to the City side. Part of our dedicated commercial service is knowing when it’s time to power flush the connection. Our large vacuum truck is equipped to do both, which can save time and is economical for the property manager.

COLLAPSING CATCH BASIN

Over time and consistent environmental pressures, the structural foundation of a catch basin can become weak and prone to cracks. Especially here in Canada, the harsh winter can take its toll. Moisture in the surrounding soil can cause damage from temperature fluxuation resulting in the surrounding soil expanding, contracting and ultimately shifting around the basin. These shifts cause either inward pressure on the basin or shallow support.

Additionally, if the basin is not properly supported by the surrounding soil it can start to tilt unevenly. This results in the basin getting tension cracks making it easier for water to cause further damage, breaking the outlet or inlet pipe, or cause the top grate to become very uneven creating a hazardous environment.

Trouble Shooters is equipped with the experience and the equipment to quickly clean or fix a clogged catch basin without impacting business and causing downtime. Call us today for more information and to obtain a no obligation quote.
