HOW DOES A CATCH BASIN CLOG?
Catch basins are designed to collect leaves, dirt, and debris carried by rain runoff, preventing these materials from entering the outlet pipe and causing overflow during heavy rain.
Clogs can occur when smaller items like food wrappers, plastics, litter, and dirt get washed into the basin. Over time, these materials can build up, blocking the connection to the sewer and preventing water from draining, which leads to overflow.
Another common cause of catch basin clogs is insufficient maintenance. Without regular cleaning, clogs can cause water to flood the surrounding area, posing health and safety risks for vehicles and pedestrians. To prevent injuries caused by negligence, scheduling regular preventative maintenance is crucial. MAYDONE recommends that businesses clean their catch basins at least every two years.
