Questions
Drainage FAQs
What is the difference between a channel drain and a catch basin?
A channel drain is a long narrow drain often used across hard surfaces. A catch basin is a box-style inlet that collects surface water from a point or low area.
Do surface drains need maintenance?
Yes. Grates, basins, and outlets can collect debris and should remain clear so water can enter and exit.
