Professional Catch Basin Cleaning

Keep Storm Water Moving Properly

Your catch basins handle massive water volumes during Chicago’s intense storms. When they’re clogged with debris, sediment, and buildup, that water has nowhere to go except across your property.

Our catch basin pumping service removes everything blocking proper drainage. We pump out standing water, clear debris, and use hydro jetting to blast away stubborn buildup that regular cleaning can’t touch.

This isn’t just maintenance – it’s flood prevention that protects your property investment and keeps operations running when weather gets rough.

Affordable Catch Basin Pumping

Prevention Costs Less Than Repairs

Most property owners wait until they have a flooding problem to think about their catch basins. By then, you’re looking at emergency service rates, potential property damage, and business disruption.

Regular catch basin pump out service costs a fraction of what you’ll spend dealing with flood damage. We’ve seen parking lots with thousands of dollars in damage because a $200 cleaning was put off too long.

The math is simple – preventive pumping and cleaning keeps your drainage working properly and your costs predictable.

Complete Catch Basin Service

More Than Just Pumping Water

Our catch basin pumping service includes everything needed to restore proper drainage. We pump out standing water, remove debris and sediment buildup, and use high-pressure hydro jetting to clear pipe connections.

You get a complete inspection of your system condition, so you know about potential problems before they become emergencies. We also check grates, connections, and overall system flow to make sure everything works together.

This comprehensive approach means your catch basins actually stay cleaner longer and handle storm water more effectively.

Catch Basin Clean Out Pros FAQs

Common questions about our Catch Basin Clean Out Pros services

How often should catch basins be pumped and cleaned?

Most commercial properties need catch basin pumping every 6-12 months, depending on debris load and usage. Properties with heavy landscaping, parking lots that collect leaves, or areas with construction activity may need more frequent service. We typically recommend twice yearly – once before spring thaw and once before fall to handle leaf debris. Properties that have experienced flooding or backup issues should start with more frequent cleaning until the system stabilizes. Regular maintenance prevents the buildup that causes expensive emergency situations.

What causes catch basins to get clogged and overflow?

The most common culprits are leaves, trash, sediment, and debris that wash into the basin during storms. Over time, this material compacts and blocks the outlet pipes. Sand and dirt from parking lots, especially after winter road treatments, create heavy sediment loads. Tree roots can also grow into connecting pipes, creating blockages that trap debris. In Cook County, freeze-thaw cycles can shift debris and create ice blockages during winter months. Without regular pumping and cleaning, even small amounts of debris eventually build up enough to cause overflow during heavy rain events.

Can you handle emergency catch basin pumping during storms?

Yes, we provide emergency catch basin pump out services when you’re dealing with active flooding or backup situations. Our crews can respond quickly to pump out standing water and clear immediate blockages that are causing property damage. However, emergency service during active storms has limitations – we can’t always perform complete cleaning in severe weather conditions. The best approach is preventive maintenance that keeps your systems working before emergencies happen. We also offer priority scheduling for properties that have experienced flooding, so you can get comprehensive cleaning as soon as weather conditions allow.

What's the difference between catch basin pumping and regular drain cleaning?

Catch basin pumping involves removing large volumes of standing water and debris from the basin itself, while regular drain cleaning typically focuses on pipe blockages. Catch basins collect much more material – leaves, sediment, trash, and standing water that can’t drain properly. Our pumping service removes all this material, then uses hydro jetting to clear the connecting pipes. Regular drain cleaning tools often can’t handle the volume of debris in a clogged catch basin. We use specialized vacuum trucks and high-pressure equipment designed specifically for these larger drainage structures and the heavy debris loads they collect.

How do I know if my catch basins need professional pumping?

Standing water in the basin 24-48 hours after rain is the clearest sign you need pumping service. You might also notice water backing up onto pavement during storms, slow drainage during moderate rain, or visible debris buildup in the basin. Bad odors coming from catch basins indicate stagnant water and organic material that needs removal. If you’re seeing water damage around your property after storms, or if your catch basins have never been professionally cleaned, it’s time for service. Don’t wait for complete blockage – partial clogs get worse quickly and turn into expensive emergency situations.

Will catch basin pumping service damage my landscaping or pavement?

Professional catch basin pumping shouldn’t damage surrounding areas when done correctly. We use truck-mounted equipment that stays on paved surfaces and doesn’t require digging or heavy machinery near landscaping. Our vacuum systems remove debris without high-pressure washing that could erode soil or damage plants. We do need clear access to the catch basin for our equipment, so temporary parking restrictions may be necessary. Any water displaced during cleaning is contained and removed properly. Experienced crews know how to work around landscaping and property features while still providing thorough cleaning that restores proper drainage function.
