What Is a Catch Basin?

A box or grate set into the ground that collects surface water and routes it through underground pipes to a safe discharge point.

When You Need One

• Low spots that collect water
• Downspout discharge areas – 1 inch of rain on 2,000 sq ft roof = 1,200 gallons
• Driveway and patio edges
• Pool deck drainage

Types We Install

• Square/round grate basins – most common residential
• Atrium grates – raised dome prevents debris clogging
• Channel drains – linear collection along driveways/patios
• Pop-up emitters – at discharge end

Cost

Single basin with 20-30 feet pipe: $800-$2,000. System of 2-4 basins: $2,500-$5,000.

Catch Basins vs French Drains

Catch basins collect surface water at specific points. French drains collect subsurface water along their length. Many projects use both.
