Grated Collection Boxes That Pull Standing Water Off Your Property
Properly installed catch basins in Austin collect surface runoff and send it into underground pipes, preventing flooding in low areas of your yard, driveway or parking lot. A catch basin acts as an inlet, with a grate that lets water in while a sump area traps leaves, silt and debris before they can clog the drainage line. They are an essential part of many residential and commercial property drainage systems.
We position each basin at the lowest points where water naturally gathers, connect it to properly sloped pipe and route the water to a safe outlet. Our installs use durable basins and grates sized for Austin's heavy rainfall, and we can add cleanouts for easy maintenance. Say goodbye to standing water and washouts. We also test flow before finishing. Contact us today for a free estimate on catch basin installation.
What Is a Catch Basin?
A catch basin is a square or round box, topped with a removable grate, that sits flush with the ground at a drainage low point. Surface water falls through the grate, debris settles in a sump at the bottom, and cleaner water flows out through the connected pipe. Clearing out the collected leaves and silt keeps the whole system running during the next downpour.
Where We Install Them
We place catch basins in yard low spots, at the base of sloped driveways, beside patios, and anywhere roof runoff concentrates on the ground. In Austin's expansive clay soils, moving that water away quickly also protects nearby foundations from swelling and movement. We map the natural flow across your lot before setting a single box.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a catch basin be cleaned?
Check the sump a couple of times a year and after major storms. The box is designed to trap leaves and silt before they reach the pipe, so clearing that buildup keeps the drain flowing freely.
Can a catch basin connect to my existing drain line?
In most cases, yes. We inspect the existing pipe, confirm it has the capacity and fall needed, and tie the new basin in. If the old line is undersized for Austin's downpours, we'll tell you before any work begins.
