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 Cedar Park keeps water moving off tidy suburban streets and parking lots before it backs up onto pavement or into a parking garage. Shallow soil over limestone bedrock means this part of Williamson County does not drain the way deeper, sandier ground does. When a grate clogs here, water does not soak away, it pools, and property managers end up fielding complaints before anyone notices the actual problem sitting in the basin below.
That thin layer of soil over rock also means runoff moves fast and carries a lot with it, gravel, leaf litter, mulch washed off a slope, trash blown in from a parking lot. On sites around Buttercup Creek and Cypress Mill we regularly find a forebay silted in well past its design depth, or a sump that fills with sediment faster than the original engineering accounted for. On properties backing up to Hill Country terrain near the Ranch at Brushy Creek, volunteer trees take root on embankments and their roots work into outlet pipes, slowing drawdown until a basin that used to clear in hours takes days.
Working with Corral Bros on this scope starts with someone walking the property with you, not a crew showing up unannounced to a site they have never seen. We open structures, clear sediment, leaves and trash, check connected lines, and haul away what comes out. Estimates are free and usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call, and because we are locally owned, licensed and insured, you are dealing with the same company start to finish, not a sub.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Cedar Park property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and catch basin & storm drain cleaning that holds up to Williamson County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the property with whoever manages it, typically a property manager or a board member, and open the grates and sump structures to see what is actually sitting in them rather than guessing from the surface. Most estimates in Cedar Park are scheduled within 48 hours of your call. You get a clear look at what needs cleaning before anything is scheduled, no surprises once crews are on site.
It depends on tree cover and how much slope drains into the system, but most tidy suburban sites around Buttercup Creek or Cypress Mill need a cleanout once or twice a year. Properties backing up to greenbelt or Hill Country slopes tend to collect more leaf litter and sediment after heavy rain and may need a closer look sooner. A slow-draining grate or standing water after a storm is the usual trigger for a call.
We stage around active parking lots and residential streets rather than shutting them down, and most catch basin and grate work is finished without blocking access for more than a short stretch at a time. We coordinate timing with property management ahead of the visit so residents and tenants are not caught off guard. Apartment and retail sites with tight parking get extra attention on sequencing.
Shallow soil sitting over limestone does not absorb water the way deeper soil does, so runoff moves fast and carries sediment, gravel and leaf debris straight into the nearest basin or grate. That shows up as a silted forebay, a sump that fills faster than expected, or an outlet that is partly blocked instead of running clear. Sites near Ranch at Brushy Creek with more slope see this pattern often.
The number of structures on the property, how much sediment and debris has built up, and how accessible the grates and basins are all factor in. A site with several catch basins buried under years of leaf litter costs more to clear than one on a regular maintenance schedule. Connected line checks and haul-away volume also affect the total, which is why we quote after the site walk rather than over the phone.
