The appropriate size of a catch basin for a property's drainage system is typically determined by calculating the total amount of water runoff that needs to be collected and drained. This calculation takes into account factors such as the size of the property, the amount of rainfall in the area, and the slope of the land. It is recommended to consult with a licensed plumber or drainage expert to accurately determine the correct size of catch basin needed for your specific property.

When considering an overhead sewer system for your property's plumbing needs, factors to consider include the property's layout, existing plumbing infrastructure, potential for basement flooding, and local building codes and regulations.

As a licensed plumber, you can determine if your flood control system is functioning properly by conducting regular inspections and maintenance. Check for any signs of leaks, blockages, or malfunctions in the system components such as sump pumps, check valves, and backflow preventers. Test the system by simulating a flood event to ensure it activates and redirects water away from your property effectively. If you notice any issues or concerns, it is important to address them promptly to prevent potential flooding risks.
