Catch Basin Cleaning Stratford, CT

Catch Basin Cleaning Stratford, CT When catch basins clog, problems show up quickly. You may see ponding in parking lots, water flowing where it should not, and debris getting pushed deeper into the storm system. Clean Basins provides professional catch basin cleaning in Stratford, CT. We remove sediment, trash, and buildup so stormwater drains the way it was designed to.

Whether you manage a commercial property, oversee municipal assets, or maintain an industrial site, routine cleaning helps reduce flooding risk. It also improves site safety and keeps drainage infrastructure working through heavy rain and seasonal runoff.

Our Catch Basin Cleaning Process

We keep the workflow simple and consistent in Stratford, CT:

  1. Locate and access the basin, then clear surface debris around the grate.
  2. Inspect the structure including the inlet throat, basin walls, sump depth, and outlet condition.
  3. Vacuum remove debris using equipment designed for wet and dry material.
  4. Rinse and wash down to remove remaining fines and improve water flow.
  5. Confirm drainage and note issues such as damaged grates, structural problems, or heavy sediment loads.
  6. Haul and dispose of collected material properly, then provide documentation when needed.

For large sites, we can build a route plan. We typically start with known low spots and high-debris areas.

Equipment Built for Stormwater Debris

Catch basin cleaning in Stratford, CT often involves heavy, waterlogged material. Sediment can compact in the sump and debris can pack tightly around inlet openings. That is why Clean Basins uses professional equipment designed for stormwater maintenance.

We rely on vactor/vacuum truck cleaning and hydrovac-assisted cleaning to remove high volumes of solids and slurry efficiently. This approach helps restore sump capacity without pushing debris deeper into the storm system. It also keeps the work area cleaner and more controlled around grates, curbs, and access points.

The right equipment makes service faster for multi-basin properties in Stratford, CT. It also helps produce consistent results from one visit to the next.

Disposal, Compliance, and Documentation

Stormwater debris often includes sediment, organic material, and roadway litter. We handle material responsibly and dispose of it appropriately. We can also provide disposal documentation or service records when requested. This is helpful for facilities that track maintenance or need proof of service for internal compliance.
