Catch Basin Repairs

Catch Basins work in a similar way. They serve as a drainage system for parking lots. They are usually installed at the same time as the parking lot is and they are used to keep water from collecting in your parking lot which can damage or weaken the lot.

The problem is that catch basins are subject to regular wear and erosion due to water moving through it on a regular basis. When water enters it deteriorates the joints between the frame and grate become subject to damage. The joints are typically comprised of mortar and this process will eventually erode the mortar. This can cause major problems for your parking lot drain system as it will sink due to erosion or the damaging effects of water caught during cold months which causes it to expand and possibly burst the mortar from it position. Once this happens the catch basin will settle lower, causing standing water which can damage the surface of the parking lot.
