Storm Drains & Catch Bains

Storms Drains

When heavy rains occur, our streets, parking lots and others surfaces sometimes flood which can be very dangerous. Storm drains are drainage systems that are designed to deal with excess water due to heavy rainfall. They are commonly installed on the sides of streets and on the low points of roads. The water goes down the drain to pipes. The pipes normally connect to a large central pipe. The outlet is usually a lake or ocean, or any major body of water. Many storm drainage systems are designed to drain the storm water, untreated, into rivers or streams. In some cases however, the storm drainage systems connect to the sewage system. For water that goes through the sewage system, the water is processed first before being disposed of.

Catch Basins

Many small objects fall through the storm drain inlets. These are caught by catchbasins, or sumps. Catch basins are part of the storm drain system. Its primary purpose is to trap debris so that they cannot enter the drainage pipes. The catch basin lies right below the grating of a storm drain. It serves as the first step for processing the excess water from heavy rainfall.

Proper Maintenance

After storm drains and catch basins are installed, maintenance is still very important. Clogging becomes a problem if the debris in the storm drainage system is not cleared out on a regular basis. When the system clogs, overflow may happen. This then defeats the purpose of having the system installed. When clogs happen excess water from storms backs up and is not able to pass through the drain.

The clog might even add to the problem. When water overflows a clogged storm drain or catch basin, all the debris left there rises up to the surface. This is very unsanitary and may cause sickness to citizens in the area.

Maintenance of a catch basin includes regular clearing of the trap that holds all the debris. Rooter-Man offers maintenance services for storm drains and catch basins.
