Removal of sediment, leaves, trash and debris from catch basins, storm drains, grates and connected structures to keep drainage moving.
Catch basin and storm drain cleaning in Bee Cave is not optional maintenance once you own a site along the 71/620 corridor. Between the limestone benches and the grade changes that define this part of Travis County, water moves fast when it rains and brings everything with it. Property managers and HOA boards in communities like Lake Pointe, Falconhead, and Spanish Oaks call us when a basin stops drawing down the way it used to, or when a grate is doing more collecting than draining.
Thin soil over rock does not hold sediment in place, so a hard rain off a cleared lot or a steep embankment can dump a surprising amount of silt into a forebay in one event. We have opened sumps in this area that looked fine from the surface and were half full underneath. Bare slopes above an inlet, volunteer trees taking root in an embankment, and leaf litter from mature oaks all add up the same way, slowly, until a storm shows you the problem all at once with water where it should not be.
Working with us on this scope is straightforward. We walk the property, identify every structure that needs attention, and clean sumps, grates, and connected lines so water moves the way the system was built to move it. If the site has a property engineer involved, we work alongside their plan rather than guessing at it. You get a crew that knows what a healthy basin in this terrain looks like and what it takes to get yours back there.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Bee Cave property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and catch basin & storm drain cleaning that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the site with whoever manages the property, whether that is an on-site manager, a board member, or an engineer representing a developer turnover. We look at every catch basin, grate, and visible outlet, check for standing water or slow drawdown, and give you a free on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call. No obligation to move forward.
It depends on tree cover and slope above each structure. A basin collecting runoff from a steep, oak-lined embankment in Spanish Oaks might need a cleanout twice a year, while a flatter commercial lot near the 71/620 corridor can go longer. Slow drainage after a rain, standing water in a sump, or debris visible at a grate are the signals that it is due.
Yes. Most of this work happens at grates, inlets, and basin access points that do not require closing a parking lot or disrupting a leasing office. We schedule around business hours or resident traffic when asked, and for HOA common areas we coordinate timing with the board or management company so mowing crews and residents are not caught off guard.
Shallow soil over limestone benches means less absorption and faster runoff, so sediment and leaf litter move downhill fast and load up forebays and sumps quicker than in flatter, deeper-soil areas. Steep grades in developments like Falconhead also tend to erode bare slopes above a basin, which adds silt load even when the structure itself is sound.
The main factors are the number of structures, how much sediment and debris has built up, how far a basin sits from truck access, and whether connected lines need checking in addition to the basin itself. A single grate clearing costs less than a full sump cleanout with haul-away across a multi-basin site. We price it after the site walk, not before.
