How Do Catch Basins Work? What Is A Catch Basin? Catch Basins  often referred to as Storm Drains, essentially catch rainwater, dirt, and floatable debris. Floatable Debris can be organic and inorganic materials. Examples of organic material leaves, sticks, soil, and grass. Examples of inorganic material are things like plastic bottles, coffee cup lids, Styrofoam or extruded polystyrene foam, cigarettes, even car parts. There are metal hoods that cover the outflow pipes. This keeps most foreign material in the catch basin. Now some older catch basins dont have hoods on the pipes going to other drainage structures which allow floatables to escape the catch basin and infiltrate other structures such as dry wells, inverts, head walls, sewer systems . Catch Basins  can flow directly to a sump, brook, creek, river, lake, bay, and sometimes right to the ocean. It is not uncommon to find used engine oil, antifreeze, and other common solvents and toxins inside of catch basins. I h

Normally, the lay of the land will not completely cooperate, and gravity cannot do all th

How Do Drywells Work? What’s A Drywell? A  drywell   is an absorption system burried under ground usually in the shape of a cylender.  Drywells  cylendars are usually a tall with concrete with holes in the side and an open bottom. (see bottom right side) Drywell Installations & How They Work Drywells  are installed by digging a deep hole, usually near the septic tank, and setting the  drywell  in it. Gravel is usually dumped around the outside of the  drywell  and a lid put on top. The  drywell  is then connected to the septic tank with piping and the whole thing is covered with soil. Effluent enters the  drywell  from the septic tank and then exits out the holes in the side and seeps into the soil that surrounds it. Drywells  were also constructed of brick. These were built as upside-down cone shaped structures constructed inside a large hole. Once completed, they were carefully covered up with soil (backfilled). Some have small lids at the top of th
