Catch Basins in the South Bay
Driveway runoff or a yard low point? Request a catch-basin estimate with the grate size you want if you have a spec.
Schulze Plumbing Inc. provides Catch Basins in the South Bay / Los Angeles County area. See cities we serve or call 310-487-2975.
Catch basins have a sump so silt drops out before the outlet. A cheap plastic pan with no sump clogs the pipe. Driveway basins need traffic-rated grates.
We set them to finish grade — too high and water bypasses, too low and you have a hole.
Common symptoms
- A grate in a hump of concrete
- Pipes clogged with silt because there was no sump
- A missing basin at the bottom of a drive
What this service involves
- Selecting a basin for load and debris
- Setting to grade with an outlet
- Connecting to storm piping

FAQ
- Who empties it?
- You, a landscaper, or a maintenance visit. Basins that never get scooped will clog regardless of our install.
- Can it connect to sanitary?
- No for storm water.
- Decorative grate?
- If the load rating still matches cars. Pretty and crushed is a bad combo.
