What is a catch basin, and do you need one?

A catch basin, sometimes referred to as a storm drain, is a single point drainage solution that collects and redirects water. Catch basins typically consist of a grated cover, a basin, and a pipe that carries the water away. Its job is to collect excess surface water and channel it to an underground drainage system before it becomes a costly problem. Do you need a catch basin? If you notice standing water, frequent puddling, soggy spots in your yard or water flowing toward your home, a catch basin is the perfect answer for you.
