Catch Basin Cleaning and Repair in Hanover Park, IL
A driveway that floods, a backyard that turns into a pond or a yard drain packed with debris. We clean and repair catch basins and the lines that carry the water away. Our office is on Greenbrook Boulevard.
The Basics
What a Catch Basin Does
A catch basin is a chamber under a grate that collects runoff from a yard, driveway or patio. Dirt and leaves settle to the bottom, and the water flows out through a pipe. When the basin fills with debris or the pipe clogs, water backs up onto the lawn, the driveway or toward the house.

Catch Basin or Yard Grading?
Not every soggy Hanover Park yard needs a new catch basin. If water collects because the ground slopes toward the house, regrading may be the real fix. If water collects in a low corner with nowhere to go, a basin and a drain line can carry it away. And if you already have a basin that used to work, it's usually clogged with silt, clippings or a crushed outlet pipe. We'll look at the yard with you and tell you which situation you're in.
What Affects the Price of Catch Basin Work
A cleaning is the simplest visit. Rebuilding a settled top or replacing a grate takes more. If the outlet line is clogged or broken, clearing or repairing it adds to the job. A new basin depends on where the water can go. We look first and quote a flat price.
