Home › Catch Basin Cleaning
Catch Basin Cleaning in Reno, NV from Reno Hydrovac gives contractors, utilities, property managers, and commercial customers a controlled way to complete specialized excavation and cleaning work. Our combination truck supports projects throughout Reno and Northern Nevada with professional equipment, clear scheduling, and a free estimate before work begins.
Call (775) 414-4960 or request a free quote. Tell us what needs to be exposed, excavated, cleaned, or removed, along with the site location and access details, and we will help determine the right setup.
Catch basins are designed to collect sediment and debris before it travels farther into a storm system. As the sump fills, the structure has less capacity to capture additional material. Reno Hydrovac uses high-capacity vacuum equipment to remove accumulated sediment, trash, water, and loose debris from catch basins throughout the Reno area.
We serve parking lots, industrial properties, construction projects, road systems, and other sites with accessible storm structures.
The vacuum hose removes material from the basin and transfers it into the truck debris tank. This is more controlled than simply flushing the contents downstream. If compacted material is present, water can help loosen it for removal.
The crew can also observe obvious access or structural concerns visible during cleaning, though cleaning is not a substitute for engineering or structural inspection.
When the basin is clean but flow remains restricted, the connecting line may also contain sediment or debris. High-pressure jetting can be used where appropriate to mobilize material and recover it at a basin or downstream structure.
Knowing the direction, diameter, and approximate length of the connecting lines helps us plan the work.
Catch basins in high-traffic or disturbed areas can accumulate material quickly. Sand, soil, landscape debris, aggregate, trash, and construction sediment are common. Maintenance frequency should reflect what the site actually collects.
Clear access to basin lids and grates makes service faster. Move parked vehicles, equipment, or stored materials away from the structures before the scheduled visit when possible.
Pricing depends on basin count, dimensions, sediment depth, material density, access, jetting needs, travel, disposal, and the distance between structures. A site map with numbered basins is extremely useful for larger properties.
We can quote a defined structure list or evaluate a broader drainage-cleaning scope that includes lines and other storm components.
Visible sediment near the outlet, standing debris, reduced drainage, repeated clogging, or a known history of heavy runoff loads are common reasons to schedule cleaning. Many properties also clean basins before or after periods when significant runoff is expected.
If you do not know the maintenance history, we can start with the structures showing the greatest accumulation and help establish a practical plan.
