Concrete Catch Basins
CONCRETE CATCH BASIN INSTALLATION
Catch basins collect stormwater runoff from paved surfaces and direct it into underground storm drainage systems. We install precast concrete catch basins, pour-in-place basins, and area drains with proper inlet grates, sump bottoms for sediment collection, and pipe connections. Sizing is based on drainage area and rainfall intensity. We coordinate with civil engineers on commercial and municipal drainage projects.
Starting at $1500 per basin

Why Choose Our Concrete Catch Basins
Catch basins are critical stormwater infrastructure — they must be properly sized, correctly placed, and securely connected to the downstream storm drainage system. We install precast and poured-in-place catch basins with proper inlet grates, sump bottoms, pipe connections, and casting frames aligned to finished grade.

FAQs About Concrete Catch Basins
How deep should a catch basin be?
Catch basin depth depends on the outlet pipe invert elevation and required sump depth (typically 12-24 inches below the lowest pipe for sediment collection). Total depth commonly ranges from 4 to 8 feet. The civil engineer sizes and specifies catch basin dimensions for each project.
