Catch Basin Cleaning and Repair in Geneva, IL
Puddles that never seem to drain, a driveway that floods or a grate buried in leaves. We clean catch basins, repair broken ones and clear the pipes they drain into. From our office on Campbell Street.
The Basics
What Does a Catch Basin Do?
A catch basin is a box in the ground with a grate on top. It collects rain from your yard, driveway or downspouts and sends it to a storm line. Its bottom sits below the outlet, so leaves and silt settle there. When the bottom fills, the outlet clogs and water stays on the surface.
Signs Your Catch Basin Needs Attention
Call when:
Water Sits Around the Grate
Hours after the rain stops.
Leaves Bury the Grate
Common on Geneva's tree-lined streets in the fall.
The Ground Sinks Nearby
Soil washing into a cracked basin.
Water Runs Toward the House
The basin can't take it.
Catch Basins in Geneva Yards
Geneva's mature trees and older properties make catch basins work hard.
Heavy Leaf Fall
Old trees near downtown bury grates every autumn.
Old Brick and Block Basins
Older basins crack and shift over decades.
Driveway and Garage Basins
Grit and sand wash in every spring.
Storms Like 2008
About 9 inches of rain fell on Geneva in two days in September 2008. A blocked basin turns that into standing water against the foundation.
