Removal of sediment, leaves, trash and debris from catch basins, storm drains, grates and connected structures to keep drainage moving.
Manor's east side is full of subdivisions still under construction or barely a few years old, and that newness shows up directly in the catch basins and storm drains serving ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, and Stonewater. Grading that happened last year, lots still waiting on turf, and streets recently cut into prairie all send more loose material into the drainage system than an older, settled neighborhood would.
The blackland clay under this part of Travis County does not absorb water so much as shed it once it is saturated, and that pattern fills basins fast. We find sumps loaded with fine clay sediment, forebays silted in well ahead of schedule, grates packed with leaves and construction trash, and outlet pipes slowed to a trickle on sites that are barely out of the builder's hands. Bare slopes and a volunteer sapling or two working into an embankment are common on newer detention ponds that have not had a maintenance pass yet.
For the property manager, board member, or GC handling closeout, working with Corral Bros means a site walk that covers every basin, grate, and connected line on the property, a straightforward estimate, and a crew that clears sediment, debris, and trash without turning the job into a production. We work on the schedule your tenants, residents, or closing timeline need, and we tell you plainly what we found in each structure.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Manor 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 HOA board member, a community association manager, or a GC closing out a subdivision, and look at every catch basin, grate, and outlet on the plan. You get a free no-obligation estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call. We note which structures are full of sediment, which grates are blocked, and whether any connected lines need a closer look before we quote the work.
It depends on how much raw ground is still draining into the system. A newer section with exposed lots and no established groundcover can silt in a basin within a season, while a built-out block with mature turf might go a year or more. We generally recommend a basin inspection twice a year for new development and after any major storm, then adjust the schedule once we see how fast each site actually fills.
We schedule around your property's traffic, not the other way around. For apartment and retail centers we work sections of the lot at a time so parking stays available, and for HOA common areas we coordinate timing with the board or management company so mowing crews and residents are not caught off guard. Most catch basin and grate work does not require closing an entire lot or street.
Blackland clay sheds water fast once it is saturated, and on a site that is still being graded or recently seeded, that runoff carries clay fines and loose sediment straight into the nearest basin. We regularly find sumps half full of fine silt, grates packed with construction debris, and outlets slowed to a trickle on sites that passed inspection only a year or two ago.
The main factors are how many structures are on the property, how much sediment and debris has built up in each one, and whether any connected lines need to be checked or are partially blocked. A single retail center grate is a quick job, while a full ShadowGlen or Stonewater detention system with multiple basins and a silted forebay takes more time and equipment, which the site walk accounts for in the estimate.
