Prevent Costly Flooding and Water Damage

Catch basins are designed to channel rainwater and melted snow away from your parking lot. But when they become clogged with debris—like trash, leaves, oil, or sediment—water has nowhere to go. The result? Pooling, flooding, and extensive water damage.

Unchecked flooding can:

• Damage customer and employee vehicles

• Lead to asphalt erosion or concrete deterioration

• Cause water intrusion into nearby buildings

• Increase the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, raising liability concerns

Routine cleaning keeps water flowing efficiently, preventing these issues before they start.

Preserve the Longevity of Your Parking Lot

Standing water doesn’t just inconvenience users—it gradually destroys the parking lot’s surface. Water that seeps into the underlying layers weakens structural integrity, leading to cracks, potholes, and costly reconstruction. Regular catch basin maintenance helps extend the life of your investment by ensuring proper drainage and minimizing surface degradation.

Stay Compliant and Protect the Environment

Stormwater regulations exist to prevent pollutants from entering local water systems. Clogged or poorly maintained catch basins can funnel contaminated runoff—full of oil, chemicals, and debris—into rivers, lakes, and groundwater sources.

By keeping your drainage systems clean, your business helps reduce water pollution and stays compliant with local and federal environmental standards.

Promote a Safer Parking Experience

A clean, well-drained parking lot is essential for safety. Accumulated water, slick surfaces, and hidden hazards caused by poor drainage create dangerous conditions for both pedestrians and drivers. Clean catch basins keep water off walking and driving surfaces, creating a safer environment for employees, customers, and vendors—especially during inclement weather.

Save Money with Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. Clean catch basins protect your pavement, limit erosion, and reduce the need for major reconstruction projects. By investing a little in routine care now, you can avoid large expenses down the line.
