Removal of sediment, leaves, trash and debris from catch basins, storm drains, grates and connected structures to keep drainage moving.
Storms off Lake Travis tend to arrive fast and heavy, dumping a lot of rain in a short window before moving on, and that pattern is what fills catch basins and storm drains around Lago Vista faster than most property managers expect. Corral Bros handles catch basin and storm drain cleaning for commercial sites, HOAs, and POAs throughout the area, from Highland Lake Estates to Bar-K Ranches and Point Venture.
The thin, rocky soil on these lakeside slopes does not absorb or filter much, so every hard rain pushes grit, leaf litter, and loose rock straight downhill into the nearest inlet. We regularly find silted forebays, grates clogged with cedar and oak debris, and slow drawdown after storms on properties that look fine from the parking lot. Bare or thinly planted embankments compound it, and volunteer trees taking root along a slope or outlet can start redirecting flow in ways nobody planned for.
Working with us on this scope means a site walk, a clear look at what is actually sitting in your basins and lines, and a crew that clears sumps, grates, and connected structures without turning your property into a work zone for days. We haul away what we remove and check connected lines while we are there. Whether you are an HOA board handling a shared detention area or a GC closing out a site for handoff, we work the schedule around tenants, residents, and traffic, and we are local to this part of Travis County, not driving in from Austin.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lago Vista 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 property with whoever manages it, whether that is a board member, a property manager, or a GC closing out a site, and look at every grate, inlet, and outlet we can access. On hillside lots around Highland Lake Estates or Bar-K Ranches we also check for slope erosion feeding the system. Estimates are free, with no obligation, and we usually get out within 48 hours of your call.
It depends on canopy cover, slope, and how the last storm season treated the site. A basin shaded by oak and cedar on a steep lot near Point Venture can silt up faster than a flatter commercial lot. As a rule, we tell clients to have the system checked once a year and again after any storm that drops a lot of rain in a short window.
Yes, that is normal for us. We schedule around lease traffic, retail hours, or HOA meeting nights, and we stage equipment to keep drive aisles and resident parking open at apartment and retail properties. On gated lakeside communities we coordinate access ahead of time so nobody is caught off guard by a crew at the grate.
Thin, rocky soil on these lakeside slopes does not hold water or filter sediment the way deeper soil does, so runoff carries grit, leaves, and loose rock straight into the nearest basin. Combine that with sudden downpours off Lake Travis and you get fast-filling sumps, slow drawdown after storms, and outlets that choke on debris faster than a typical inland site.
Access is usually the biggest factor, since a basin tucked into a rocky embankment at a hillside property takes longer to reach safely than one at grade in a parking lot. Volume of sediment, number of structures on site, and whether connected lines need a closer look all factor in too. We price it after the site walk, not before.
