![]() ![]() ![]() Modern filtration plants are able to mostly deal with these problems, but the same can’t be said for all domestic and commercial sewage systems. Do I need a Catch Basin?Ĭatch basin drainage used to be standard on just about all homes before modern filtration systems were invented, because stubborn particulates and grease used to cause problems for municipal water works when the foul water arrived for treatment. The foul water enters the catch basin full of impurities and debris, then after a period of time these settle to the bottom of the catch basin leaving only clear water on top, which flows out of another pipe in the side of the basin and into the rest of the drainage system with the harmful debris removed. There are also open-topped catch basins that allow water to flow directly from the ground into the basin like a drain, so it can function as an extra source of drainage in itself. ![]() The catch basin is designed to sit below the level of the sewer, and allows for one or more points of entry depending on how many pipes are expected to flow into it. Typically made from either plastic or masonry, our plastic products are considerably easier to use than brick equivalents and are much easier to install too. These systems are relatively simple but can save you or the building owner a lot of time and expense later by making blockages less likely. A catch basin is a plumbing fixture designed to help prevent blockages in a building’s drainage system, by literally catching scum and debris before it gets the chance to enter pipes that it could block or enter the mains sewer system and damage it. ![]()
