1. Heavy Water Runoff from Impervious Surfaces

• Driveways, parking lots, patios, or walkways that collect water during storms.

• A catch basin helps collect that water before it causes erosion or puddles.

2. Standing Water in Low Spots

• If water pools in specific low-lying areas of your yard or property.

• A catch basin collects the water and connects to underground pipes that carry it away.

3. Storm Drain Interception

• When you need to tie into a municipal stormwater system.

• Catch basins can act as pre-filters to keep debris out of the city system.

4. Gutter Downspout Management

• If your downspouts dump water in one spot, causing erosion or flooding.

• A catch basin can collect the runoff and send it through pipes to a safer outlet.

5. Preventing Water Damage to Structures

• Near garage doors, basement stairwells, or entrances at or below ground level.

• A catch basin can keep water from seeping into these areas.

6. Complementing a French Drain

• In areas with both surface water (best handled by a catch basin) and groundwater (handled by a French drain).

• You can integrate both systems to manage all types of drainage issues.
