PROACTIVE CATCH BASIN MAINTENANCE
The Right Cleaning Plan for Your Property
Not every catch basin collects material at the same rate. Property use, pavement conditions, traffic, landscaping, seasonal debris and surrounding activity all affect what reaches the drain and how quickly material accumulates.
ProSweep uses vacuum trucks to remove water, sediment, sand, gravel, leaves and other non-hazardous debris directly from catch basins. We handle individual problem basins as well as multiple basins across commercial and industrial properties.
Tell us where the property is located, approximately how many basins need attention, what you are seeing and when they were last cleaned, if known. We can review the scope, access and site conditions and help determine the appropriate service approach.
CATCH BASIN CLEANING CAPABILITIES
Catch Basin Service for Commercial Properties & Active Sites
ProSweep provides professional catch basin vacuum cleaning for commercial properties, industrial facilities, property managers, construction sites and other privately maintained locations. Service can be arranged for one problem basin, several drains across a property or planned maintenance.
Before work begins, we review the number and location of the basins, current conditions, site access, traffic and scheduling requirements. Those details help our team plan the work and determine how the vacuum truck can be positioned and operated efficiently.
Commercial Properties
Catch basin cleaning for retail centers, offices, multi-tenant properties and other commercial sites where sediment and debris collect in parking lot drainage systems.
Industrial Facilities
Vacuum clean-out for catch basins serving manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution properties, loading areas and other active industrial sites.
Parking Lots & Drive Lanes
Cleaning for catch basins receiving runoff from parking areas, entrances, drive lanes and other paved surfaces where sand, sediment, leaves and debris accumulate.
Private Roads & Developments
Catch basin service for privately maintained roads, commercial developments, HOAs and other properties responsible for maintaining their own drainage infrastructure.
Construction & Project Sites
Vacuum removal of non-hazardous sediment, soil, aggregate and other material that can accumulate in catch basins during construction and site work.
Oil-Water Separators
Vacuum cleaning for oil-water separators at commercial and industrial properties when the accumulated material is non-hazardous and within ProSweep's service capabilities.
More Than Drainage
A Practical Part of Stormwater Maintenance
Sediment, sand, leaves, litter and other debris can move across parking lots, drive lanes and paved areas with stormwater runoff. Catch basins provide a collection point for some of that material before it travels farther through the drainage system.
Why Catch Basin Cleaning Matters
As material accumulates in the sump below the inlet, less space remains to collect additional sediment and debris. Periodic inspection and vacuum cleaning help maintain the basin's available collection capacity.
ProSweep removes accumulated water, sediment and non-hazardous material directly from the catch basin with vacuum equipment. The material is contained in the truck, transported from the property and taken for landfill disposal.
Catch basin cleaning can also complement regular pavement sweeping. Sweeping removes loose material before it reaches the drain, while catch basin clean-out removes material that has already entered and settled below the grate.
Cleaner pavement and maintained catch basins help keep accumulated debris out of the stormwater system.
Flexible Service
Routine, One-Time or Urgent Catch Basin Cleaning
You do not have to fit your property into a standard maintenance package. ProSweep can schedule catch basin cleaning around the number of basins, site access, operating hours, current conditions and the timing of the work.
Routine Maintenance
Establish a catch basin cleaning schedule based on your property, previous accumulation and maintenance needs. Routine service can help prevent excessive sediment and debris buildup between clean-outs.
One-Time Clean-Out
Schedule vacuum cleaning for an individual problem basin or multiple catch basins without committing to recurring service. One-time clean-outs are well suited for overdue maintenance, seasonal buildup or a specific drainage concern.

Request service when a catch basin has significant buildup, standing water or another condition that needs prompt attention. Provide us with the site conditions, access and timing to determine how quickly the work can be scheduled.
Planning the Work
What Goes Into a Catch Basin Cleaning Project?
Two properties with the same number of catch basins can require very different service plans. Basin location, accessibility, accumulated material and activity around the work area all influence how a clean-out is approached.
Before service, ProSweep considers how the vacuum truck can reach each basin, whether parked vehicles or normal property operations could affect access, and whether traffic control will be needed while the work is underway.
The condition of the basins matters as well. A property with several accessible basins containing ordinary sediment and debris presents a different scope than a site where individual basins are difficult to reach or have substantial material accumulation.
Providing accurate information when requesting service helps our team understand the property before the truck arrives and can make scheduling and service planning more efficient.
VACUUM EQUIPMENT FOR THE JOB
Catch Basin Cleaning Requires More Than Surface Cleanup
Catch basins collect material below the pavement where conventional sweeping equipment cannot reach it. ProSweep uses vacuum trucks to remove accumulated water, sediment, sand, leaves and other non-hazardous debris from inside the basin so that material can be removed from the property rather than simply moved at the surface.
The work is focused on the catch basin itself. Our crews position the vacuum truck for access, remove accumulated material and transport the collected non-hazardous material for disposal. ProSweep does not provide underground storm line jetting, allowing this service to stay clearly focused on professional catch basin clean-out.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING SERVICE
A Straightforward Catch Basin Cleaning Process
Catch basin cleaning should be clear from the time the truck arrives until the work is complete. ProSweep follows a practical process for accessing the basin, removing accumulated non-hazardous material and completing the service with minimal disruption to the property.
Confirm the Basins
The crew identifies the catch basins included in the service and confirms site conditions before cleaning begins.
Access the Basin
The basin is opened and the vacuum equipment is positioned so accumulated material below the grate can be reached and removed.
Vacuum Out the Material
Water, sediment, sand, leaves and other non-hazardous material are vacuumed from the basin and contained in the truck for transport.
Complete the Service
The basin is closed, collected material is transported for disposal, and requested service documentation or before-and-after photographs can be provided.

Straightforward Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Catch Basin Cleaning
How often should catch basins be cleaned?
There is no single cleaning interval that is right for every property. Frequency depends on how quickly sediment and debris accumulate, surrounding pavement and soil conditions, seasonal debris, traffic and previous maintenance history. Some basins may require attention more often than others on the same property.
What are signs that a catch basin may need cleaning?
Visible sediment or debris inside the basin, recurring standing water, material collecting around the inlet or an unknown maintenance history can all be reasons to inspect a catch basin. Properties exposed to leaves, sand, soil or construction activity may also experience faster accumulation.
Can catch basin cleaning help with standing water?
It can when accumulated material inside the catch basin is contributing to restricted drainage. Standing water can also be caused by an underground pipe obstruction, damaged drainage infrastructure, grading or another site condition. Catch basin cleaning is not a solution for every drainage problem.
What is the difference between catch basin cleaning and storm drain jetting?
Catch basin cleaning removes accumulated material from the basin or sump below the inlet using vacuum equipment. Storm drain jetting uses high-pressure water to clean or clear underground piping. ProSweep provides catch basin vacuum cleaning and does not provide underground storm line jetting.
What happens if hazardous or contaminated material is suspected?
ProSweep does not provide hazardous-material remediation or disposal. If there is reason to believe a catch basin contains hazardous or contaminated material, that condition should be identified before service is scheduled so the property owner can arrange for the appropriate specialist.
How is catch basin cleaning priced?
Pricing depends on factors such as the number of basins, basin locations, accessibility, amount and type of accumulated material, site conditions, traffic-control requirements and scheduling. ProSweep reviews the project details before preparing a service proposal.
Can catch basin cleaning be performed while a commercial property is open?
In many cases, yes. The service plan depends on basin location, traffic, parked vehicles, loading activity and other site conditions. ProSweep can coordinate access and, when needed, provide traffic control so the work can be planned around an active property.
What should I do if I am not sure whether the problem is the catch basin or the underground drain line?
Tell ProSweep what you are seeing, including standing water, visible sediment, recurring drainage problems and any known maintenance history. We can determine whether the requested work fits our catch basin cleaning capabilities. If the issue appears to involve underground piping rather than the basin itself, a drain-line contractor may be required.
