Catch basin cleaning and repair
A catch basin full of sediment floods the lot. A sinking one takes the asphalt down with it. We clean them, jet the lines between them, and rebuild the ones that are failing.
Cleaning
Sediment, leaves, trash and winter sand vacuumed out of each basin, and the storm lines between basins jetted clear so water actually leaves the lot.
Repair
- Broken or missing grates replaced, and rocking frames reset
- Sinking basins rebuilt: top courses relaid, frame reset to grade
- Asphalt patched around the rebuilt basin so it stays put
- Collapsed or root-filled storm lines found on camera and repaired
The whole lot, on one schedule. Our sister companies, 123 Pothole Repair and 123 Lot Striping, patch, sealcoat and restripe around the basins we rebuild. One quote covers it.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my catch basin sinking?
Usually because water is getting around the basin through cracked or missing mortar between the top courses, washing soil away underneath. Freeze-thaw cycles and plow strikes make it worse. The fix is rebuilding the top of the basin and resetting the frame, then patching the asphalt around it.
How often should catch basins be cleaned?
Most parking-lot basins need cleaning every one to three years. Basins near trees, construction or heavy sand and salt use fill faster. A basin more than about half full of sediment is due.
What does catch basin work cost?
Cleaning runs $250–$400 per basin, a new grate or frame reset is $400–$700, and rebuilding the top of a sinking basin is $1,800–$3,000 including the asphalt patch around it.
Can you fix the parking lot around the catch basins too?
Yes. Our sister companies, 123 Pothole Repair and 123 Lot Striping, patch the asphalt around rebuilt basins, fill potholes, sealcoat and restripe, so it can all be one quote and one schedule.
