Cleaning a Catch Basin, Unclogging a Blocked Drain - Agile Remodeling Handyman - Bellevue, WA

Here's a video of me cleaning out a flooded drain in a driveway at a house in Bellevue, Washington. This can show you how to clean your drain, if you want to DIY.

A catch basin is designed to hold some water and when the water rises to the level of the drain pipe, it can run down the pipe to the storm sewer.
The catch basin acts as a trap for debris and sediment. It catches leaves, pine needles, and anything else that gets washed in by the water.
The L-shaped downturn of the pipe keeps sediment and debris from going down the drain.
So the stuff settles to the bottom and eventually if it’s not cleaned out it can get full of stuff up to the level of the pipe which blocks the drain.
It has to be cleaned out once in a while, that’s how it works, to keep the stuff from going further down the drain and blocking where it would be more difficult to reach.

I clean drains and catch basins around Bellevue or Seattle. Plus, I do a lot of other handyman work for my happy customers.

How can I help you?

Using a hoe to scoop out stuff is so smart. I have a catch basin that has a bunch of grease and was clueless on how I could take the rocks of grease out but you just opened my eyes

I have a very old building with a clay pipe in the catch basin that broken. A pvc pipe was psh inside the opening 2 years ago when it broke. Now I have a catch basin that’s up to your knee caps with dirts. The pvc needs to attached to the clay pipe so the dirt won’t push thru. Is this even possible? Someone suggested we cleans the catch basin and thin line it. Then connect the pvc to the clay pipe where the debris and water are pushing thru with hydraulic cement.
