How We Install Catch Basins

While catch basin installation is not an incredibly confusing process, it can be strenuous. As with most construction projects, we recommend allowing professionals to install your commercial catch basin to avoid mistakes or injuries. The following are the steps we take to ensure proper commercial catch basin installation in Wickliffe, OH.

1: Determine Location

The first installation step is deciding where your catch basins will go. You’ll typically want several catch basins for maximum drainage. We’ll choose the lowest areas of your landscape where water collects.

2: Dig Trenches

Next, we’ll dig the trenches in which the drainage pipes will lay. We’ll also dig the basin holes and ensure they align with the outlets. In most cases, we accomplish the digging with a trencher and trenching shovel. 

3: Install the Basins and Piping

We then lay the pipes in the trenches and install the adapters to ensure everything fits nicely.

4: Secure the Catch Basins

The next step is securing the catch basins with concrete, gravel, or stone. If you opt for concrete, which is the option we recommend, we’ll create and pour molds before lowering the basins. We’ll then pour concrete around the lowered basins to keep them secure for an extended period.

If you choose gravel or stone, which are cheaper than concrete, we’ll install layers in the basin holes before lowering the basins themselves. We’ll then attach grates on top of the basins.

5: Connect the Pipes

Now that we’ve installed the basins, we can connect the pipes to the inlets and outlets. This step differs slightly depending on what piping we use (PVC or corrugated pipes).

6: Test

We’ll then test to ensure the system functions correctly and doesn’t have any leaks or holes. We do so by simply pouring water into the pipes or the basins and checking for proper drainage. 

7: Backfill

Once we’re confident the catch basin system is ready, we’ll backfill the trenches and basin holes. Backfilling compacts the soil around the catch basin to ensure it doesn’t sink, leading to various drainage issues.
